An Amazing Woman

Michael Degenhardt on Aug 31, 2009

We should all have a mother like this.

Gentle, yet hardened appendages reach out from her being

As eyes, that have seen many years, look piercingly about

My mother, she greets me as she has always, like her baby

With a smile and with love, her voice then gives to shout

Happiness is felt when her presence is acknowledged

This woman of many years offers love through her ways

She personifies virtue, for her honesty’s never diminished

She is caring and loving as her generosity’s displayed

My mother, a woman of whit, of words and of honor

She taught that dignity is the prize for which to strive

She means more today, though I’m a man of my forties

As I’m still then her baby and will be forever, in her eyes

Wonderful tribute to Mom. I lost mine at age nine but still have memories of her.

Precious words of love and admiration are well selected. No wonder you are the man you are with a mother like you describe.

Obviously a woman worthy of honor. And all mothers would agree, our babies remain our babies no matter the age.

Beautiful words of love. What a tribute to your mother. You are her son and I can tell by the words just how much she meant to you. A mother always loves her children no matter what. They are always her babies.
