Mom

Left alone she pictures things

as she’d like for them to be,

but she’s quite aware of everything

going on in her family.

Attempts are made to teach us

and guide us to what is right,

in hopes we’ll learn each lesson

and act accordingly when out of sight.

But choices and situations

can overwhelm us in the end,

and poor decisions and consequences

will try and teach us once again.

Whether she is proud of you

or disappointed just the same,

her eyes may show the difference

but she’ll never curse your name;

her quiet grace won’t let her

even though she’ll lose her calm,

she has a special kind of love for you

that’s why God made her Mom.
