Beautiful,Beautiful Mother

Have you ever seen a person who would work both night and day?
Using all her precious energy but none of it on play?
Or a person who would look so fine in satin,lace or silk...but always had to struggle to provide her kids with milk. I feel so weak, so incomplete because her strength I lack. I know a load the size she tows would surely break my back. Then suddenly it occurred how lucky I must be...to have someone so kind and good to love and care for me. This person of who I write is not a sister or any other...just the most wonderful gift GOD ever gave me, my beautiful, beautiful Mother.

for mama "jj"

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
