Presently, she may be
Wrinkled and old
showing feebleness
but every line is that
of her life stories
Eager to be told.
The effects of age
and time
Her sight is fine
However
Her hearing has
changed
Maybe little slow
Not same
Not the way we used
to know
As being the same
like yours and mine
Nevertheless,
She, is the one who
brought us together
Gave us a chance
Showed us the light
Stayed by our sides
Every day and every
Hour.
She is called
By no other name than
Mother.
So what if this poem
Is about, your mother
or mine
To this day, we remain
grateful
For life’s original
Mother
Created in god’s time
Always a great sight
To behold
One for whom mankind
Should be forever grateful
Whether she is twenty
Or one million years old
so what if she cannot
Hear too well.
What if she doesn't have
Twenty, twenty vision
What if she no longer
Can talk
Her steps are slower
Even if she no longer
Can walk
This is the time when
That which we should
all try and find
Is the love, the caring
And compassion
Whether man or woman
This is the time when
Everyone would know
As we stand proud and
show the love we possess
Instead of worrying
How someone can tell.
From the way we treat
our mother now
Is the way others would
Eventually treat us
When they meet us
In a position of need
Everyone always need
Someone
The spirit gives out
is the same spirit
We are inviting
Into our lives as we
grow
Our wish may just
Come true
One will never know
Be careful
That it comes true
For you, and i
So honor thy mother
And father
that your days may
be long
In the land that god
Promised.
Therefore,
if you for any reason
Is answering your
Mother
Quite rude and angry
Instead of with
love and patience
Because she had gotten
Old and is hard of
Hearing
Maybe little slow
Knowing, that it is
not her fault,
even so,
What if it was her fault
It only a signal
That it is the time for
Great sons and daughters
To show that reason
There is someone
they call, mother
We all need to think
About our own kids
who may just be
watching,
these lessons we are
now teaching
from whom else do we
Expect them to learn?
How then, would they be
Also be expected to
Practice
That which they never
Learned
Having sense about that
of which they know
nothing?
It will be the case of what
Goes around
Will then come around
again.
Do onto mothers that which
You will have your
Children
and all others do to you.
We must all remember
That she is our Mother
