Mother's Day 2013

Few could ever be this resilient.
they may have the Sight,
     but are seldom this brilliant.

—The manager of mansions—
No matter how the house is built,
you raise that man's sons.

The cost of your labor
is never paid through paper, but with favor
when we come back richer twenty years later.

There is no force that can break what is maternal,
—lest it be internal.

There is no weight that can crush a mother,
because even when she's pressed for much,
     her child is smothered...
With patience,
With care,
and with safety in heart.
      Mothers are proof that love is art.
