Love Poem: Crosswise - My Mother

Crosswise - My Mother

Your beauty      your kindness      your laughter
So honest         so friendly           so serene
My anchor         my rock              my haven

My tranquility     my mentor         my mother 
Within me          in my heart         in my soul
I pray                with tears           at your grave
Of love               unspoken           of words
