Forever Mine

Handy, adroit
Obliging, supporting
Soothing, consoling
These are my mother’s hands

Uncomplaining, enduring
Funneling, encouraging
Gaunt, fragile
These are my mother’s hands

Showing me the rules of life
Guiding me down the a golden path
Helping me through the trail of life

Loving me with all she has
Loving her with all I have
Mother to me
Son to her
An irreplaceable bond

Lost without
Found with
Alone without
Together with

Sometimes anger
Overtakes
In the end
Love prevails

Caring for her
As only a son can
Caring for me
As only a mother can

Momma’s hands
Forever mine
