An ode to my mother, mom you are my strength For you, my God, I would go to any length A gorgeous day not a single cloud of angst As you rest peaceful in Heaven's outer banks As high as a kite on selfless joy and pride The sun grew jealous of light you held inside You came home for Christmas gung ** bonafide The world kept turning you were ready to ride You could inhale hope smile and exhale faith No marathons instead you won every race Told to rest, but NO! You were God's special case Wide eyes would float you to any destined place Last Summer Point Pleasant you rode on the swings Got off, and yelled, please don't let me do these things You flew that day and today you've earned your wings Angel for a mom makes me the king of kings Could hardly walk and worse you could barely breathe But you walked on out to meet the ocean breeze The beach was all yours the perfect day was seized Summer with Autumn was no longer make believe You hit Atlantic City you doubled down Toured the hotels and had fun you love that town We had wonderful laughs there I love the sound You chased happiness you didn't **** around The woman who fought a most perilous strife Never knew sympathy, although it enticed Less than incredible simply never sufficed Stronger than Superman you saved your own life A hero disquised, stood only 5 foot 3 Ravaged skyscrapers desperate to revive me Choked out fear, annihalated anxiety You wove my path to enlightenment finally Ask the doctors they call you miracle girl Guided me close while my vision was blurred Showed me light when darkness developed a hold You opened my eyes to a spiritual world A moment to thank you for eternal love Kind symbolized by a quiet morning's dove Perfect well yes I surely fell quite short of And more and more love you were deserving of But mom know as you fought your nemesis time And never surrendered it helped me define Suffering as being divine by design Your life was so beautiful rescued was mine
