Welcome to the page dedicated to my mom...
She,
the selfless politician
she,
the one eternally willing to listen
she,
the nurturing soul
she,
the mother of us all

Her ways are tender
rough edges smoothed out
with some neosporin

and a band-aid to fit

She knows your birth stories
even the size shoe you wore
at the young ages
of three and four
When you forget
how to cook
or clean...

When the days become
much harder
than they used to seem...

She will be there
holding your hand

Walking through mountains
playing in the sand

She is your mother
the bearer of hugs
the bringer of love
the one who went through labor
to bring you playmates

And the one who cried
when you got older
and left you alone
to squander for shelter

She knew you could handle
the university years
and so when she wept
those were happy tears

The web-weaver of generations
past and to come

She is the
selfless politician
lyrical in her touch
poetic in her love

She,
the best mom she can be.
