A
MOTHER’S WORTH
Just how
do you determine a mother’s worth?
Extracted
and purified from the salt of the earth.
Worth
far more than mountains made of the purest of gold.
Her
heart holds infinite treasures yet to behold.
She will
bear the pain of her children so they will feel nothing.
Forsake
herself to assure theirs will come to mean something.
Put
herself in harm’s way of the blows that life often deals.
Putting
herself last constantly of her own free will.
Undeterred,
she will keep doing it and doing it and doing it again.
If on
her very life yours should depend.
Will go
on undaunted, tirelessly to put food on the table.
Keep
going and going for however long she is able.
Her feet
start to hurt from all the years of standing.
How she
does it requires nothing short of divine understanding.
Then one
day those legs buckle and finally give out.
Hoping
you have seen through her struggles as to what life is about.
Mothers
are quite exceptional oh, there's no doubting that.
A keen
sense of awareness it may seem as to know where you're at.
Sight
unseen oftentimes they are really never far.
They
seem to know astonishingly how you are feeling and just where you
are!
They
seem to feel sometimes what their children feel.
Can
sense something is bothering you is quite surreal.
The day
will come when it is time to leave the nest.
Rest
assured this is one of life’s greatest and painful tests.
You
restrain yourself as you leave for you hate to see her cry.
As to
all the things she has been feeling, well now you know why.
You
would never have thought it could be this hard to leave.
You are
her child and to you she will always cleave.
You
close the door softly and it is time to depart.
You are
now off her lap and now on her heart*
