Ode to Mom
September 20, 2014
Suspending her own needs to meet mine
Concerned about my happiness and wellbeing
A beacon who gently illuminates
Protecting and guiding all of the time.
Not an anchor that weighs me down
But a steady force who keeps me balanced
A lifeline of support whose selfless acts
Inspire me to stay afloat - not drown.
My tower of strength, my constant beacon
A lamp that protects me from hazards
I've been blessed with her love and happily
It never seems to weaken.
