The Mother Art

The Mother Art
Outline in pencil to start,
Charcoal shading light & shadow,
Shaping, molding, sculpting heart,
Laughing, smiling, hugging then & now,
Creating a family volume quart!
Giving warmth & kindness,
Object lessons in daily living,
Courage to face fears a la Loch Ness,
Bravely squaring! Generously giving,
Never alone! In entourage defeat any mess!
I owe! How to repay my mother?
Pass it on! Use my parented potential,
To be kind, foster bonds to another,
Now it's my turn! Giving sequential,
Nurture a fellow's "hurture" or God's like none other!
