Meghan Hutchings Poet Rhyme

Royal Matriarch

Royal Matriarch

Beloved, cherished, idolized
Who could this person be?
A pop star or the president?
A hot celebrity?

Not even close, ten cuts above
A modest hero reigns
A selfless woman, strong and bold
A beauty with the brains

This person is no other than
The royal matriarch
The solid rock beneath our feet
Our night light in the dark

A shoulder for our heavy hearts
An ear to catch our plight
The silver lining through it all
Our wings when we take flight

Happy Mother’s Day to you
My mother, my dear friend
If words relayed my gratitude
My book would never end…

John Watt April 27, 2022 at 12:13 PM Meghan, this is beautiful, touching, heartfelt, and impeccably composed. Your meter and rhyme are crafted to perfection, but mostly I adore the imagery you have imbued your tribute poem with: royal matriarch, solid rock, modest hero, shoulder/ear/wings. Yes, a beloved mother is all those things. I hope many will be able to read this jewel of an homage and have a moment of silence in gratitude for their own mother. I hope you are able to share this with your mother; I am so thankful I was able to write and share a poem before my beloved mother passed away 5 years ago. This is a Fave; I'm so happy to read this today, it touched me and brought a tear to my eyes. God bless you, dear friend ~ John Meghan Hutchings April 28, 2022 at 8:06 AM John, I am beyond grateful for your heartfelt & beautiful review of my poem. Your words always touch my heart in a way that both inspire & fill me with pride. I'm so glad this poem evoked emotions in you, just as it does in me. I know that not everyone is lucky enough to have a wonderful mother, but I pray that people have someone to look up to as a motherly figure who treats them well. I'm sorry for your mother's passing, but she did an incredible job raising you, one of the kindest souls I've encountered in my life. She is a beloved hero for sure! God bless and much love...Meghan!
