John Gondolf Poet Triolet

A Triolet For My Mother

You never cease amazing me
how all these years you loved us so;
we tried your patience you’ll agree.
You never cease amazing me
for in this life no guarantee
a person’s love they will bestow.
You never cease amazing me
how all these years you loved us so.
