You are my mother
More supportive than a brother
You are my mother
More compassionate than a sister
...
From single thread to a garment
From a flower to a bouquet
From a blade of grass to a lawn
From a grain of sand to a beach
...
Overdosed with fatality and fear
Stung by the scorpion of betrayal
Raped by life's ravaging realities
Terminally tormented by my past
...
Stronger than steel
Wider than the world
Deeper then the depths
Higher than the heavens
...
There you stood among other trees
In a garden of legendary emeralds
Your luxuriant leaves waving to the heavens
You arresting branches kissing the sky
...
Misarable as can be
Tied up from head to my knee
Restless like the deep blue sea
A slave dying to be free
...
