O' sat deep within the swell of the hills. <br />Our mother lies in all her splendid grace. <br />Long she has crafted the earth with her skills. <br />And brought life, love and beauty to this place. <br />Her nurturing voice flies within the wind. <br />Her touch a blessing in all she has made. <br />From the sky's birds winged to the sea's fish finned. <br />Creation grand from bright light to deep shade. <br />Her smile a morning made new for the world. <br />The sun rises in her fresh breath of air. <br />The lawns that stretch across the land are pearled. <br />Radiating beauty beyond compare. <br />We are all equal before our mother. <br />United here as sister and brother.<br /><br />Stephanie Dower<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-for-our-mother/
