 The Mistress of Word Play

A Daughter's Love


To my mother whom I love dearly. This one's for you. Susan









My mother is from the old world.
She came from a far off place.
She was never one to adorn jewelry
or wear much make-up on her face.

Her hands are calloused from hard labor
yet her spirit still remains strong.
She seems to find good in the bad
and the right in all things wrong.

She never wears frilly clothing
Like dresses trimmed in lace.
Her home is always neat and clean
Each thing is in its place.

She is not a vain, silly creature
Her friend is not the mirror.
but her smile is always radiant.
Her eyes with age grow clearer.

Though exquisite beauty doesn't fit her
She is always full of grace.
My love for her each day grows deeper
It is a love time cannot displace.



Love You Mom!
