My Mother My mother was a pretty woman. And tried her best to do what’s right. She was a gentlewoman But forced beyond naïve in sight She had a kindly gentle face But stern with all that she would say With eyes that flashed a fires trace. To light a path and make our way I know her disillusionment A perfect life does not exist But she never shared resentment Nor did she spread illusions mist. She let her children see the dove With velvet glove upon the seem The rainbow in the sky above And grace within its every dream. She’s my love; beyond the smother Forever, my pretty Mother |

This is a beautiful tribute, Seymour. *S* Times weren't always good around my mother... but I still miss her very much. *S* And now... if anyone asks, I can just blame the mist in my eyes on the fog that's blanketing us... right? *S* Excellent work! |
