Love Poem: Mother

Written by: Laura Didonato

Mother

The comfort in the storm
Since the day you took form
You, in your mother's arms, lay
A barrier from harms way
Til the time you transform

Upon each waxing year
You cast away your fear
Yet in a storm, not content
Until mother's soothing scent
Reminds you she is near

Even when becoming a teen
Having no clue what they mean
Ready for the storms of change
Arms open although estrange
Mom's embrace will ner wean

At times of pain, anguish
A call, "mom" to vanquish 
Senseless misery to end
With the memory to send
To mother's arms, our wish

Today as every day
Ask what you want, yes pray
For today's will be bygone
As tomorrow reaches dawn
In your arms your's now lay

The cycle to repeat 
Marching to our own beat
Until the time we each reach
Killing buggies upon beseech 
Run to you, little feet

Where did time go mother
We are like you mother
All I ask, yet one favor
Just one last time to savor
Your sweet embrace, mother
