An Amazing Woman
Gentle, yet hardened appendages reach out from her being
As eyes, that have seen many years, look piercingly about
My mother, she greets me as she has always, like her baby
With a smile and with love, her voice then gives to shout
Happiness is felt when her presence is acknowledged
This woman of many years offers love through her ways
She personifies virtue, for her honesty’s never diminished
She is caring and loving as her generosity’s displayed
My mother, a woman of whit, of words and of honor
She taught that dignity is the prize for which to strive
She means more today, though I’m a man of my forties
As I’m still then her baby and will be forever, in her eyes
