Ode To the Matriarch

[ODE TO THE MATRIARCH] Your heart wandered, everywhere I trod. You bartered your perfections for my flaws and that's how I learnt of sacrifice. I learnt to dream whilst sleeping, in the melodies of your infectious lullaby. I learnt to walk, when your words of hope beckoned my feet. I found my strength, in the ballads of truth you sang. My success was fetched from the stanzas of every advice you rendered. It's just right I pen my heart to you Mama You're the best tale, my ink will ever tell. And the finest song, my lips will ever intone. Your love will forever be my poetry. From now till I drift off the hands of life, I'll hide you in the deeps of my heart.                    ©Stranja depoet
