Mother

Happy Birthday Mother – 12/27/23

By Rishi Jena

Life is parched, You are my oasis;

People are mean, You are my advocate;

Pain comes in Spurts, You are my healer;

Hate Spills over, You smother in Love;

Winter Chills the bone, You are the Golden Sunshine;

Pollen chokes the airwaves, You are calming lavender;

Heat boils the brain, You are a cooling breeze;

Leaves fall and desert, You stand solidly tall;

I want to set you free, Soar unfettered in the horizon;

I want to be towering and forceful;

Bring Pride and Joy to You from afar;

To Envelop your new life with promise;

Of a New Beginning, Healed !!
