Mother Tetractys Poems

mother nature
yet, you maintain serving humanity.
every second you draw a great landscape
You feed and care.
selflessness.
byword.
trust.

Spring
Stirs and
Awakens
Birds singing in
her new season, Mother Nature's rebirth

The ground

day long
the caring
mother promptly 
does routine household chores for the loved ones,
even if she is tired she won’t let up.
Washing all done
she bents down

like blue pearls
when children cried
Granddad please join us as they dashed around
the glowing ember fireplace with such glee.
A warm embrace

to educate
her son, wanted to make him a doctor.
He studied whole night under street light and

drying in 
sunlight on line
washed in detergent soap by mother’s hand!
our minds nurtured by mother’s love and care,
should last lifetime,
unspoilt by

we would sit
at Mother's knee
while laundry on rope lines dried in the wind.
We practiced spelling words for Friday's test.
With lessons done
Mom would say,
"Play time,
girls!"

young mother helps her two daughters study.

Bending over she glides the hot iron
smoothing creases
easing folds
running
lines
pressed
over
stubborn folds
waiting their turn
to be folded neatly with two warm palms.
