My Mother is a Mountain MAG
January 6, 2012
My mother is a mountain
She never bends or moves
She never breaks or cools
And underneath that thick stony skin there is heat.
My mother is a birch
She is thin and pale
She is beautiful and alive
And any imperfections are as natural as the trees.
My mother is a human
She loves and laughs
She is weak and flawed
And her birch hands, mountain strength make me.

I absolutely love the way you describe your mother. This reminds of me of the saying "My mom is my rock." I love the inspiration of this. The last stanza is my favorite because you talk about the way your mom affects you.
