She
Utter patience
mammoth courage
are worth to me
more than the
garnet bracelet
as a souvenir
SHE gifted me
Evergreen love
embedded in
motherly warmth
deeper than the deepest
abyss on earth
merges with
her morals
still emits fragrance
through me to my kids
Skills and wisdom
milk of humanity
SHE painted in my heart
made me a "queen"
to be loved by a man
SHE led me to be
A loving mother
Not only for my kids
To for kids who need
a mother too.
