Mother

Mother Oh Mother, why have you left me on the shores of lonesomeness? Without you, I amount to nothing. I miss you, and I miss your bosom’s tenderness. You protected, you fed, and you were my closest peer. When I became ill, you healed. When I crumbled in hopelessness, you stood behind as firm backbone, For strong you are and steady; I lingered within your fortress, behind your shield. Forever protective; as a watchful knight that has been sworn. Seldom, I am strong, without your wholesome feminism. Oh Mother, I dearly miss your divine presence. Love you; I do, with undoubted truism. My heart, you comfort; forever, I feel your essence. You complete me in every way. Regardless of age, in your warmth I stay.
