Mother is the maker
of marrow and milk:
the strength of bones,
the soft of silk.
Her sweetly singing morning graces
bless the faces of the loved.
Resting, nesting, loved.
Mother is the maker
of moral and mind:
the reason in virtue,
the rightful kind.
Her timely, true compelling voices
guide the choices of her loved.
Reaching, teaching, loved.
Mother is the maker
of memory mine:
the place of creation,
the power divine.
Bless the maker of mothers, loved
and bless my mother, maker, loved.
