Mother (Free Post)

This poem is about whatever you want it to be about, whether it's your mom or Mother Earth... :)

Gently wrap your arms around me

And tell me it’s going to be ok.

The time has come to make a decision

Is it me?

Or is it my love?

From the day my mother birthed me,

I’ve watched with eyes of sadness

The disease taking hold of her

Swelling up on her skin like black molasses.

I’ve been so desperate

The weight on my shoulders

And creeping up my legs.

So helpless, so worried

I’ve been watching…

And I still see it.

See the love in her eyes though so many have abused her

See the trustful hope in her smile

See the powerful strength she so calmly protects.

And it becomes clear to me.

The one day her body will be clean

One day her soul will soar peacefully in the sky

One day her dreams will not be cut down and burned

And one day, my mother will be proud.
