My Mother




My mother's hands
Can heal a soul.
My mother's smile
Makes life full.
My mother's ears
Can hear all things.
Even the sad tales
That life always brings.
My mother's eyes
Can see the truth.
My mother's fingers
Braid wisdom with youth.
My mother's lips
Can kiss away the pain,
Soul of my mother
The memory remains...
My mother's path
Follows me close behind.
My mother's footsteps
Fall just after mine.
