Plucky Mother

You humbled yourself to a lot of demands
For you to get basic needs
Which you did just for my sake
So that I see the world and know
The real meaning of life

You were a heroine of sleepless nights
Whenever my health was faced with danger
For you to observe every minute change
Either improvement or deterioration 
So that you make proper decision

You never minded what dad did
His selfish plan you persevered
For you had big plans
To elevate the innocent soul
So that it’s potential is realized

You kept praising my father
Who for sure need no recognition
For alone the burden you shouldered
Without complaints you whispered
All is well my dear

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.
