My Mother

Born across the sea
Freedom through Ellis Island
Worked her life long
Gave her children her own dream
Worn, lined, beautiful face

Worn, lined beautiful face..excellent line..love the first line..reveals some but not a whole lot...fourth line is very strong..giving away your dreams for others speaks of the selflessness that one possess in their heart...loved this piece..Much love, Chris.
