POEM: On my Mother



Several years are required

for a child’s appreciation
In only a moments notice
a mother can love
It’s fascinating and
Frustration inducing once
you can reflect on it
Because, love is so foreign to the young
But I, so strongly, feel “it” for you

When A Son
sees The Sun
for the First time.
He knows not of it’s Greatness
Only it’s Warmth

When A Son
sees The Sun
a Second time
He knows not of it’s Charity
Only it’s Importance

When A Son
sees The Sun 
for the Third time
He knows not of its Passion
Only it’s Love

Mom, you’re my Sun.
And I’ve appreciated you all my life
But, it takes maturity to understand love
So only now I can truly say I Love you!
And i have you to thank for it
