Notes About The Poem

Thinkimg of my Mom and all mothers on this up coming Mothers Day. A Mothers Day writing.

Three Shades of Motherhood

Her heart
Soft as dawn, she hums the lullaby,  
hands that mend small storms and tie loose bows.  

Her spirit
Bright as noon, she teaches courage, maps, and truth,  
laughing at skinned knees, cheering every bold step.  

Her soul
Deep as night, she keeps the quiet watch
a steady lighthouse, fierce and tender, 
foundation of home.
