Mystical Petals

In the delicate heart of the loving, no other can compare to the
Soft tender spirit of the one known as mother, what a cherished
Rose of tiffany glass, fragile, beautiful but in strength’s resolve,
A timeless piece of elegance in brilliance to outlast, and endure
Beyond any stars’ shine amongst the heavens!
Yielding, do these mystical rose petals of the heart fall, unto age,
As a sheer fine crystal teardrop, sheading leaf by leaf of 
Emotional devotion given without a moments hesitation,
Unto the child she’s loved, nurtured and protected always!
Delicately pressed within the family photo album of remembrance,
Is this everlasting exquisite blossom, ever tenderly placed, between
Memories soft moments of self-compilations reflections, 
As if a stilled pond suddenly disturbed by a careless hand of
Forgetfulness, behold the silent glass tear rippling on the 
Waves of memory, awakening your childhood laughter
Shared together, or her smile shinning above thee,
This woman for whom you called mother, ever enduring!
Inspirations geneses of origin, the soil from which your
Very roots were so placed within richness garden of purity,
Sunshine’s warming influence, and moistures quenching healing
Well spring from which thou’est sprung, give thanks unto she,
Your mother the blessed, who gave birth unto thee!
In clarity’s bouquet of beauty’s perfection, no other flowers
Blossom with such kindred opulence’s, as these clinging
Vines intertwined within each other’s deepest souls, 
Spiritual beings of affections devotional feelings,
Daughters, sons and loving mothers!
Within shelters protective cove called the heart of 
Humanity, their lies a sea worthy craft made of redden
Mystical petals, rose slices, textured layers of impassioned
Emotions, courage, strength, and tender loving,
 These are a mother’s true legacy!
Prides monumental keepsakes treasure, these glistening
Gems stemming from a mystical roseate, clarity’s crystal
Tear droplets, shedding’s emotional petals, tenderly falling,
 Behold a mother’s loving heart, always to be remembered!
