A Mother's Love

She lives her love day by day
with all that is feminine,
a touch,kiss or knowing look,
concern,red-lettered in her book;
Particular to detail
self-sacrifice a routine,
as she walks the extra mile,
ever ready with a smile;
The days news eager to hear,
her wise counsel,stills a fear
open arms brings her love near,
her warmth drys a child's tear.

Patience to give herself,time and again
soft and beautiful and feminine.

What a lovely poem this is.....what mother would not be moved to tears to read such devotion and respect? This is beautifully written to one who must be such a gem as to inspire such words. Congratulations, Brian on this win.
