Jeremy Martin Poet Free verse

For My Mom

Though many songs are written of angels
I must add to the empire 
This small hymn to a woman, a champion of life 
Nameless here, but named in all things good and pure
I'll stand beside her work, her artistry astounds the stars 
And all light that is given is humbled in her presence 
Every worry is smoothed away, all tears absolved 
God, let me take her sadness into me and carry it for her
Until I am old, and then I'll have my chance to see her once more 
I am not a religious man, but she brings the divine to me  
And cradles me forever in her selfless, adoring arms 
I love you mother, I love you
I will always love you

Andrea Dietrich March 12, 2013 at 9:28 PM wow, I would love it if MY Jeremy ever wrote something like this for ME!!! So sweet and very well crafted poem, Jeremy. Not overly sentimental, it's very poetic. Jeremy Martin March 12, 2013 at 11:33 PM I'm certain your Jeremy feels just as strongly, does he write poetry, too? I know you might not see this so I'll send some soup mail your way.
