mothers


her helpfulness overshoots
her advice overflows
but i love her
her thoughts rapid and often lost to the point at hand
her body is tired and she refuses to rest
but i love her
she is beyond stubborn
and cant leave until she has ironed my jeans
but i love her
she is persistent and will never let me treat
even though her money is not there
but i love her
her skin is worn, her body is tired
yet her heart demands to keep going
and i love her even more
her face tells the story of time and hard work
her eyes have seen it all, but her hands give only love
and i love her even more
she has taught me strength beyond measure
and she has given me more than she will ever know
and i love her most of all.
