An Ode: For My Mother
Dearest mother, I wish to write to thee
On this motherly day of love and glee
To tell you how much I appreciate
The role that you’ve played in shaping my fate.
For, without your patient, loving way,
I would most certainly have gone astray.
Yet with all your strength (and some of your genes)
I successfully made it past my teens,
Through those times and on to the point in life
Filled with happiness, and a loving wife.
A wife with a quiet and gentle strength
That is right in line with your wavelength.
I’ll add her to my ever-growing list
Of the things I love that, through you, exist.
Things which, like you, there is no just other
(For, to me, you’re a most perfect mother).
And so, on this day of celebration
Of mothers all over god’s creation,
I would just like to simply stop and say —
I love you Mother; every single day.
