Poetry: On mothers

by Joe Gonzalez

Created on: May 13, 2009

MAMA!

MOTHER!

LA REINA DE MI VIDA!

THE QUEEN OF MY LIFE!

Mom i serve under your banner...

the flag of love!

you taught me compassion

patience

faith

a love of life

you taught me how to see beauty wherever it may be found

and wherever it chooses to hide!

you brought me to LIFE!

you are the navigator of this journey...

you led my father from high up in west texas

to the down side of the lone star state

south texas

by the border

where your universe spins and weaves

and manifests its vitality!

i thank GOD for you!

madre mia...

my mother!
