A Grateful Mother Speaks

Oh, so revered this child be, so blest
was I to kiss her tiny knee. 
And blessed to give her birth, ah, yes!
God placed this infant girl upon my
joyous chest.
And, you know from decades hence,
in a musty, dark grave, I shall lie and 
dream of her beauty at its best.

Of  her intelligence, of her compassion 
I today, stand in proudest awe.
Not of crowds cheap, unaware of  their 
country’s leader, of split mind  and gone 
insane.

I watched her with joy, humility and tears
as she was most duly elected.
Yet crowds be rattled in their heads!
With naught to do, just criticize and I pray, 
Be still and off to bed.

Selfish oafs, who do naught to better
this sad, lost world.
Seeking pride in vainglorious things!
Lost in empty-prized meanderings.
Bowing to other brainless fools~~
Lacking in any heart warmed tools.

Dearest Lord, thank you for this gift, 
so precious and divine!
A prolific daughter who never falls 
drunk on drugs nor wine.

But sees to it that her fellow man,
Walks only in your righteousness, 
not the crazed body politic~~
Doing outstanding civic work,
For all her fellow Americans!

She is all I said! I appreciate your time and comment. My poetry is about relationships. My colorful past.and hopes for humanity. The USA, too, I write about, Unafraid to stand for my country. And the unborn. These are more real and signifiant than other Topics. Blessings, Pangie xo
