A Mother

A Mother

Opening a treasure box 
Wherein you can be found
Gentle voice of cherished memories
Vivid reminders of your pure love

Weaving through a life of cares
Never have you forgot to share
Warm arms that extend beyond 
Every doubt and despair

Pillar of strength that can’t stumble
Yet sweet tears of a compassionate soul
An anchor to hold on when things get rough
And a lighthouse in dreary nights that leads you home

In this world, you’re called mother by your dearest child
Or by many people to whom you’ve shown your smile
A virtuous woman who’s worth more than a pearl
Creating a masterpiece of one’s journey that surpasses it all

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
