My Mother

You are the harbor of my soul.
You have nourished my growth
as a faithful mother dove feeds
her precious young.

In this, we are forever bound together.
You, having delivered and invested,
and me, ever conscious of my need
for your acceptance.

Would that I might devise a new
language in which to embed my
words of love and adoration for you...

My Mother
