Many years have passed since I left,
In search for a certain gift
As worthy as one’s tears of joy
As prized as one’s last breath
Only to find it in a woman,
An image of love in every inch
Her beauty is eternal like an old photograph
Her heart is pure like a unicorn’s, and
Many years have passed since I found,
The world’s most cherished gift
Unparalleled, priceless, and singular
A treasure. A joy. And I call her ‘Mom’
Just recently, my mom celebrated her birthday and I can’t help but think of her with today’s prompt. She’s always been a gift to me and to our family, well, all moms are.
So here goes my Day 2 entry. A poetry sashimi to all moms out there! 🙂 🙂
