Duality of Motherhood

Shifting crown of thorns and a crown with the finest gold,
for the most challenging but most rewarding title  
set on woman’s head: All Humans’ Most Honorable Role.

With grandiose bouquet of roses so fresh
yet, frequently withers;
But once her tears flow down her eyes,
her molding hands firmly flail
and her dreams flow lovingly 
at fertile lands for her child 
to see the light, grow and bloom 
in the fragrance 
of all-seasons’ flower.

Shifting precious crown of thorns 
and a crown with all precious stones
for the toughest job on earth yet, the most powerful!
For the deepest and most beautiful love of a mother
endures all trials and pains,
Her heart is always in God’s unwavering love
faithful and constant…
with the brightest light that never ever wane.

Lovely, Len! My dad made a hour long video of mom after her death. I started think of all the hats she’s worn…daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother…but then my thoughts circled back around and I thought…but she was my mom. It is such an honor to be called mom. Great poem!

Awwn this is such a soulful tribute to all the mothers and motherhood itself! So evocatively you've described the shift in a woman's life and how she nurtures those growing blooms by giving them all the shelter and selfless care, nourishing them with love and warmth. Absolutely beautiful and touching, loved reading this. Sending best wishes and light, always ~
