She is the Epitome of Wonder

She is the best mum no matter what,
Every now or then, bits her heart,
For her love and passionate care,
She is the epitome of wonder.

Folds of months dressed in pain,
Followed by several years of less gain,
She cared for you while the world starred,
She is the epitome of wonder.

The world needs her special kinds,
To generate many special minds.
She is the only one who replenishes.
And she is the epitome of wonder

Beauty is not much her pride,
To be made that popular bride
Character is her real concern,
She is the epitome of wonder.

There's one special thing about her,
She forgives and forgets all the while,
She is the image of a loving queen
She is the epitome of wonder

Happy Mother's Day

fractured hopes

our bones are weak,

but we are still on the run.

our flesh is dehydrated,
but we are still breathing.

our eyes are blinded,
but we are still spying.

our ears are deaden,
but we are still hearing.

our dreams are shattered,
but we are still optimistic.

our future is bright,
so we are never stopping.

our life is purposeful,
so we should keep giving down.

our paths aren't straight,
so we keep on surviving.

our hopes are fractured,
so we keep repackaging
