Mom
Under appreciated and under pressure…
Over-worked from dawn to dusk, over booked by all and yet … still over over-looked.
Her head held high, without any sign of letting it down.
Nonstop work all day, rushing from places to places, cities to cities, and houses to houses.
A hero in disguise without anything that can stop her from what she needs to do.
Underneath it all, a mother is present.
One like the others but one so different.
She can be weak and fragile at times, but when the needy come calling.
She suits up and reminds us all of a greater thing.
Heroes are just ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.

This was for an English assignment where we had to write in the style of Walt Whitman.
