Word to My Mother

My Friend
My Youth
My Oracle
My Joy

My Warmth
My Eternal summer
My Love, My Heart, My Hands...

My Never-failing, You
My Every-woman, You
My Always-there, You

My Irreplaceable,
My Unmistakable,
My Beyond Incredible Mom,
that's Who.

An Excerpt from a poem I wrote to my mother three years ago.
