Maternal

To my mom.

My admiration for you shines

even through these hard times,

and in these lines

I’ll give you some rhymes.

Though you may annoy me

as you sing,

then I know you’re happy

when your voice rings.

When you speak about

something you believe in,

you have courage enough to shout,

not considering it a sin.

The days when I’m at my worst

and the tears freely flow,

just as I’m about to burst

you embrace me in all my woe.

Even while you grieve

in you I’ll believe.

Author's Note

Written for my mom for Mother's Day a few years ago. It is a sonnet.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you! :D
