Sonnetina-Rekindling That Maternal Memory

The affectionate mother, whom I loved has long left her earthly dwelling to flee to a Paradise extrasensory peaceful; and surrounded by angels, she tenderly flashes an effulgent smile and looks upon me and whispers many prayers for a son whose face is her total resemblance! And in me her noble soul lives with a sweetness, which has made me forgotten that there's death... by rekindling that maternal memory! Before I go to sleep, I reflect on my day that has passed without dire... by staring at a portrait, which makes her facial expressions seem so real like when she eloquently spoke, glimpsing into tomorrow; I'm wishing for tears to fall, but none do...too numerous tears have her child's eyes shed to empty themselves of their sorrow! Why cry and induce more mourning...when glory has awarded her a halo? She endured much, and said little, to strengthen me with her example, and will harsh winters lash me with their furious winds, no fright... no discouragement can overwhelm me and make me shiver and tremble; violent storms extirpate trees, fears won't uproot what I extol! Extraordinary was her motherly love: intense and insuperable, to build me up when my confidence was down and I refused to have fun; and if I felt miserable, she mollified my misery, grief and sadness, to never let me lose my momentum, to miss out on a great, indelible moment! Showing my mistrust intensified the tone of her vocal chords... low esteem wasn't another kind of modesty, just a lost milestone! Secular and firm...and yet divine, was her faith emboldening me; emerging in the form of a lovely rainbow to brigthen my obscurity! I longed for affection, hoping it would have been long lived...as that love so tangible, which still guides my footsteps to rekindle that maternal memory!
