Happy Mother's Day Poem by Faith Wood

You are the linens atop my bed,
my laundry that has yet to be put away
A reminder that my cat has yet to be fed
and all the words I couldn't say

The truth-
All life's lessons I learned from you
From simple to difficult
I have learned and found a way

You opened my curtains for that patch of light,
giving my dreams the hope I couldn't see,
urging me not to give up the ight
and with that, I soared to the tallest of trees

Along the tortuous roads
I find comfort in the idea of home
knowing that wherever I lead or go
It is you that has made me whole
