Thy Name Is Mother

“Brighten the corner where you are,”
Thy name is “Mother,”
A lady, an obsession with beauty,
As you went about your duties.

Today I feel your presence
As I in my easy chair,
Remember how you loved to decorate,
And you did have such a flair.

Your presence loves House and Garden TV,
As together we watch a parade of homes,
And I as my mother’s daughter
Have absorbed your love, thus not alone.
