My Mama
April 15, 2015
Like a soldier
she's strong and proud
Her life rich
with wisdom and memories
When she sings
her voice lifts
thick with years of age
Even without her life's partner
by her side,
she continues on like her grandfather
clock ticking day in, day out
tick tock
time passes by in the blink of an eye
or at times
like a stroll in the park
yet she smiles
basking in the glowing sun
of her life spread behind her
with the tinkling music
of her grandchildren's laughter
as the melodies envelope her.

I wrote this poem as a gift to my grandmother on her 80th birthday. She is someone I love and admire immensly, and whom I strive and hope to emulate.
