Beautiful They Are

A Poem by Tricia O'Brien

Young Recovery

My Mom

beautifully strong and unbelievably supportive

warm hands that hold me from states away

she's hysterically adorable

faith that knocks down church walls

eyes that see pure beauty in everyone

loyal devoted and tough as nails

selfless courageous and dangerously determined

creativity at its finest

the softies skin and coolest freckle design made by the greatest creator...

My Gram

perfectly lined inside and out

she gets me like no other

porcelain skin the most charming grin

intelligence that makes Einstein look foolish

simple words laced in utter brilliance

she's so bad a*s, and knows it!

a backbone that stands tall through 79 years of life's wreckage

she has the strength of a 100 man army

advise that she could charge for, she gives freely...

two of the most amazing women that we've been blessed to walk beside

blood that runs deeper than the roots of that 1000 year old pine

an indescribable bond that grows with every second

every tear laugh and bruise we share

“family” holds no ground to what we are

we have something that you can't, it's ours

laughter that still echos

smiles that are stomach deep

understanding that is silent

beautiful they are...My Mom and Gram

"you come from strong stock Tricia..."My Gram's voice plays in my mind, best tune i jam to.

-three generations we've seen felt and experienced more than the billions of feet that trample this earth-

these two women have not just given me life but they've given me a reason

"laughter that still echos

smiles that are stomach deep

understanding that is silent

beautiful they are...

three generations that have seen felt and experienced more than the billions of feet that track this earth

these two women have not just given me life but they've given me a reason"
