"When I Think Of My Mother"

When I think of my mother,
A smile comes to my face,
She's full of love and wisdom,
Coupled with a stately grace.

In her I do find peace,
She's my shelter from the storm,
From the bad weather of the world,
She's the blanket that keeps me warm.

Luminous is she, her beauty shines,
Wisdom she exudes, very wisely,
Sensitive subjects she gently probes,
In kindness she acts upon nicely.

Never condemning, nor judging,
Always consoling, not preaching,
Striving to balance guidance and love,
Being like her I'll forever be reaching...
