~The Family Matriarch~

She is the chalk that draws the line

The sturdy rope, the ties that bind

The go-to when times are rough

The sweetness in the breath of love

 

She sets the rhythm of the day

She is the all in all she's made

And we, the gallery of her art

 

~The Family Matriarch~

 

She is the hope in all of us

The shinning light, the path of love

She is the strength from out the start

The very beat deep in the heart

 

And after all when all is said

Her children rise and call her blessed

Accepting life through joy and scars

 

~The Family Matriarch~

Just thinking of my Mother and feeling blessed at the strong Godly woman she is. It's been 13 years since my Dads passing and my Mother at 87 still holds the family tightly together.
