Mother

Craggy, wrinkled, overworked

Yet loving, warm & gentle

With bright jewels adorned

Your hands are instrumental

Mother

In shaping the person I am today

You are the reason the home is home

Means were limited

but your effervescent laughter kept 

Sadness at bay

Twinkling eyes, indomitable spirit

is beyond the wisdom of books

Behind the curtains and veils

Your razor-sharp wit & fortitude brought 

Abundance in our lives and hearts

Making life fulfilling, comforting,

And cherished.
