Mother

They call her Mother!!
Ingrained care 
besought her every step.
Standing before Judges and Kings,
her chivalry sought to escape her.

She might not be 
an everyday queen 
she sought to be 
but 
her grace 
falls on every struggling echidna.

Mother, why live only for others 
and neglect the satisfaction of your soul?
The voice of faith would say: 
You can all do both 
in an insanely biased world!

Happy Mother’s Day

I've really been enjoying your story your characters and storytelling are fantastic. Honestly, I think it would work incredibly well as a manga or webtoon and could help you reach an even bigger audience. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il: [email protected] inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
