You

To my mother

Inspiration itself, that's what you are 

A gem, a masterpiece 

a prodigy 

every part of you drips of benevolence, of 

supernatural strength, 

of perseverance 

I'm blinded by the light from your heart 

That yellow that shines so bright 

Like yellow from gold 

 

Heart so bright and pure, 

it shines through every path 

piercing the darkness 

and bidding it farewell 

 

Eyes so dark 

yet so transparent, 

selflessness embedded in the corners, 

compassion diluting your pupils 

 

Ears so deep, they hear anything 

from the drop of a pin 

to the laughter of a baby 

to the silent wails of an unhappy soul 

 

Lips that soothe the skin with a gentle kiss

like balm on a bruised knee, 

or bruised elbow, 

or bruised spirit 

 

You 

dear angel sent from above 

You 

are an epitome of humaneness 

the symbol o of a warrior 

of a queen 

of hope. 

 

You, i will honour 

now 

and forever. 

Yes, You.
