Mom Poem by Janis Land Raymer

No matter the circumstance...
she was there
No matter the trouble I'd caused...
she was there
Believing in me, when no one did...
not even myself
Pulling me out of one situation
after another.
Her strength knows no boundaries...
yet sometimes she's so weak.
She's the most intelligent person I know...
but even she struggles for answers.
She's decisive and strong...
but can be unsure and tired.
She's a a mountain of faith,
an ocean of integrity,
the sheer width of the universe is her pride.
However...
she also slips and falls up that mountain...
sometimes barely treading water in that ocean...
and sometimes her humility is equal to the total eclipse...
no light escapes.
she is a mass of contradictions...
she is...mom.
An impossible legacy-
but a beautiful dream.
