Ode to her

I admire her

her youthful glow

her confidence

her wise innocence


I long to be her

have her smile

her blue eyes

her soft skin


I know her

she is my mother

a warrior

embellished with time

my tears

my burdens

she has carried for me


my heavy

sapphires and diamonds

she has never thrown them away


instead she has told me

she loves me

every day


that these things I see

in these photos of her

she sees in me.


in my smile

my brown eyes

her wild

child

her old soul

her daughter

innocent but wise


her daughter

will have a daughter some day

and I hope she loves me as I love my mother

as much as she loves me.

I will love her.
