Mother
mother, a simple word
just six letters
“m” is for mine, meadow, meow
all the wonders of the world
wild meadow orchids
including all the colors
“o” ordinary, extraordinary
like the shape of a bird’s nest
a place to call home
a place to rest
“t” touch, tingle, tomorrow
time to feel
shape of earth
“h” Henry, hobnob,
hop skip and jump
helpless/clinging
“e” early, elbow, eyebrow
center of the circle
center of the world
“r” real, ready, regal
a little prayer for my mother
said out loud
or whispered to myself
my own, the one and only
MOTHER
mother
mama
