For My Mother

 

For My Mother (by Randyjw; April 3, 2016)

 

The beautiful piece of your heart and life

which you opened to another

touches them in ways in which

it always seems to matter

 

The wellspring of my eyes is turned

in seeing that you bother

Consider what I’ve seen and learned

The yearnings of a mother

 

Your days of toil upon the floor

to clear each path before

the soil from our wayward path

and what will lie in store

 

The dreams you set into our mind

we never leave behind

and when in time we reach the line

and take our turn in kind

 

Each small and heartfelt victory

the labors of your youth

Through days of untold hardships

you rebirth our lives anew.
