Mother is the Maker

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.
