Ode to Mother

 The day begins, an ordinary sunrise.

Mother awakens, and within her embrace, a child lies

Away child soars, as toys and distractions arise

Mother prepares coffee, as child’s lessons are comprised

The school day begins, an ordinary high

Mother sips coffee, and teaches lessons with love in her eyes.

Away child watches, as stars begin to rush

Mother prepares dinner, as child begins to hush.

The nighttime routine begins, an ordinary rhyme

Mother prepares a bath for child, and listens to the ticks of passing time.

Away child sleeps, child’s dreams awaiting to take flight

Mother washes dishes, as a lullaby is hummed with a sigh.

The cycle repeats, an old and new bloom

As memories are made, one day at a time, with love eternally 

Shining through.
