The Family Matriarch

~The Family Matriarch~ She is the chalk that draws the line The sturdy rope, the ties that bind The go-to when times are rough The sweetness in the breath of love She sets the rhythm of the day She is the all in all she's made And we, the gallery of her art ~The Family Matriarch~ She is the hope in all of us The shinning light, the path of love She is the strength from out the start The very beat deep in the heart And after all when all is said Her children rise and call her blessed Accepting life through joy and scars ~The Family Matriarch~ Just thinking of my Mother and feeling blessed at the strong Godly woman she is. It's been 13 years since my Dads passing and my Mother at 87 still holds the family tightly together.
