For My Mother Poem by Anisa Tara

Of all the duties tasked to man
One job is never through
Only given to a selected few

This task is never finished
It bears the burden of sacrifice
Only second to Christ

God stood before creation
And poured out his heart
Into all her parts

They trembled as he spoke
'It will be a woman's load,
To walk the narrow road,

'Her shoulders will be strong
Burdens unrivaled
Sorrows unbridled,

'Yet she will know joy
Like none have known
With the birth of her own,

'I will put in her
Endurance not for the rest
For all of life's tests

'She will be blessed
Her reward stands above
For carrying my burden of love'

They trembled as He spoke
'There can be no other,
I will call her mother'
