Poetry: Mother

THE BEACON

You've been in my life
Like a beacon of light
Where to turn for direction
In the dark of night

In the storms and the trials
Your light has shown through
And in all situations
Shown me what to do

I've made some mistakes
I'll quickly admit
But mother, you've shown me
To press on and not quit

A beacon is light
A direction for hope
But only the ship
Can choose which way to go

I hope that at some point
I'll somehow repay
The love that you've shown me
Each step of the way

Without your support
And your guidance and light
I'd have fallen astray
A ship lost in the night

    Standing tall even though the world towers above her.

    Beautiful creature, wonderful sister

    Sunlight on brown hair
    the beauty of her stare
    the way she would just sit with me
    how wonderful her laughter of glee

    I love her

    In the room of windows
    on the second floor of my mother's
    rented house
    amid photographs, paints and palates
    easels
