Mother: No Greater

It's been a really long time since my last post. Life has been a whirlwind of joy and blessings. I'm well. I have new job in addition to my private office which I am only working at one day a week. We have moved to a new place in Tazewell and all is right in the world.

I figured no better reason to post then to honor Mother! So here is a poem I wrote to honor a specific mother, but it is also for all Mothers.

Mother: No Greater

Superiority has no assention on Mother

Heights cannot climb

Peak cannot soar

Bird cannot fly above

Mother

Duty has no precedence on mother

No work is more challenging

No responsibility more ennobling

No job more demanding

Then Mother

Love has no bounds beyond Mother

Feeling has no depths

Pride no swell over

Compass cannot circumscribe

Mother

Man has no greater honor than Mother

Rank has no command

CEO no procedure

Nobel no prize greater

Then the calling of Mother

Beauty has no favor on Mother

Cover girls bend

Flowers bloom

Stars shine

For Mother


Even the Lord honors Mother

Water wines

Word Honors

Sanctifying symbols homage

Mother

Mother there is no greater gift

What then gift Mother?

Tokin she creates

Love she owns

Light she shines

Treasure she is

Words she teaches

Songs she hums

Flowers she plants

Food She cooks

Painting she colors

Remembrance, Kindness, Respect, Serve

Can try and will

But remembered with love that proceeds

Everlasting

MOTHER NO GREATER
