Precious Portrait
My mother’s picture smiles at me
Whilst perched upon the wall.
Her portrait’s features pleasant are
Mine eyes absorb them all.
My mother’s picture beckons me
To hasten to her side:
That tranquil gaze holds memories
Where all my secrets hide.
My mother’s picture comforts me
It must- she’s far away;
Affords her essence to my life
And lends her precious sway.
