Of Mother

For Mothers In the break of dawn you rise to greet The first streak of sunlight rising from mountain crest Your silhouette roams the four corners of your domain With rolled up sleeves ready for the day Each day your sweat brings comfort and peace As you work while children are asleep As they wake up smile painted on their cheeks For a warm welcome and early morning feast Warm embrace and encouraging words Of wisdom and patience, unyielding virtues Reminders enfolding young minds in troupe While treading a road with wisdom they go For once I stop, take off my hat Sublime, unconditional, divine creation Amidst the turbulence besetting this world, Deserving admiration, and love most of all.
