She carried a heavy burden from an early age She's the 2nd oldest but a leader in her her own way Standing out amongst her sisters and raising fine sons To this mother I dedicate these words Violet radiance is her energy Humble wise and and compassionate her aura does shine Doing all she can to be a blessing to others an admirable quality rare in this time Although mothers day is only a single day, a mothers job sadly never seems done Especially when the father is nowhere in sight, I applaud I know it wasn't always fun You never quit when things were bad you kept bellies full and put smiles on faces when kids felt sad you were always fair even when made mad Years later as storms pass, like a diamond you only got better with time I always felt gemstones were underrated so its time this one got its spotlight to shine Like stars in the Sky you deserve countless blessings as far as the eye can see Know when I leave this prison you'll want for nothing a fact you'd best believe I pray your vibrant light never falters in my life because I feel id truly be lost It will weigh on me heavily since my actions robbed us of time my anger's folly too heavy a cost Heavenly Father speed my return to my mother if you will I'll not ask for much else then. Except that we all can meet once more and enjoy paradise in your kingdom in the end. Love you and thank you for everything hope you like this poem. -Christopher
