Happy Mother's Day - Poetry

She is ever present

But I miss her every day.

She sews the buttons on my pants

that I long ago outgrew.

She sheltered me under wing

From the storms that raged

But pushed me out of the nest

So I would learn to fly.

Her silent actions deafened me;

Her class a reproach to my ego.

And her smile healed

the multitude of scrapes and bruises

suffered at the hands of a cruel world.

As she made her exit

from this world without complaint

I never knew how much a part of my life she was.

She is ever present

But I miss her every day.
