Ode to Mater

A picture of poignant beauty
a woman of stolid strength;
music her forte is,
art her choice of words.

A shy Rapunzel
a haven that once was;
suave her subtle ways
charm her weapon in guise.

A deep sensibility
a seldom cracking smile;
amidst dark days of life
effervescent her warm light.

A cosy nest of lilies
a love and life in bloom;
curious minds she potted
to set their wings loose.

An unwritten hero
a strength in my life;
this day was born
my mother I now recognize.


Happy Birthday MOM!!! As much as I never listen to you, I still love you :-) :)
