Barbara Waldron-our strength and love <br />(A tribute to a mother of all times) <br /> <br />You are a mother comparable to none <br />For all the wonderful things that you have done <br />My brother and I honour your efforts <br />Because of you we know a woman’s worth <br />You were chosen <br />And thus will never be forsaken <br />A woman that is quiet, caring, and selfless <br />With a laughter and smile that cheers the depressed <br />You are our sunshine <br />And to your family you are firm but kind <br />You are elegant, smart, and hard working <br />Teaching us the principles and benefits of saving <br />We are blessed to have the level of care you’ve provided <br />Always ensuring that we were fed and clothed <br />As a single parent you functioned as a father <br />But never forgot your role as our mother <br />We don’t know how you did it <br />But we want you to know that we will never forget <br />Single handedly you have raised two men <br />So in blessing you whatever the cost we will spend <br />You fought for your children <br />And sought at all times for us to win <br />From the much needed lessons <br />To the countless medicines <br />We could never repay you for your love <br />But you are the one we cherish, adore and think of <br />Our love for you extends beyond expression <br />So Barbara Waldron, you will forever fuel your sons’ ambition<br /><br />Astell Collins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tribute-to-my-mother-barbara-waldron/
