Cherished Heart

The quality that touches my heart The most dearly about you, Mom Is how you feel joy in the simplest of things How you find all that you see delightful, interesting, amazing Sometimes moving you to tears Never tired of appreciating Admiring from every angle Beauty big and small Cherishing the flower and the masterpiece alike What I would give to hear every day That wonderstruck gasp As pure as a wide-eyed child’s awe When you reach heaven’s gate You will be surely given a direct pass If for no other reason Than having loved Deeply and lavishly Man’s and God’s creation With the true heart of an artist AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on May 12, 2018 for contest MID MAY STANDARD sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

Thanks for your visit and compliment, Andrea. I don't usually enter one poem in multiple contests for some reason.
