My Mother


Chocolate brown orbs
glitter like a diamond gorge
from the eyes of my mother

From creator to lover
this woman my mother
eight children she did bear

With arms open wide, and smile to the side
she beckons and calls
to all children enthralled

She loves she gives, she holds hate like a sieve

Beautiful is she, even in sleep
she kissed my hurts like skinned knees

One day I hope to emulate
to walk the shadow of one so great
to be
to sleep
to smile
to keep...
The ways of My Mother





I wrote this on Mothers Day 2004 in tribute to my mother and my GrandMother...
