(Inspired by Kee Thampi) <br /> <br /> <br />I’ll always remember Mother - <br />she was tender as could be. <br />And yet with great fortitude, <br />she stood like a tree. <br /> <br />She was anchored in hope <br />and firm in her love. <br />And with a steadfast faith, <br />she looked above. <br /> <br />Her legacy to her children <br />is the 'example' of her life: <br />She was a mother and friend. <br />And she was a loving wife. <br /> <br />Her strength (an asset) <br />was a shining light, thus, <br />a very important lesson <br />Imparted unto us. <br /> <br /> <br />*Note: thank you Kee Thampi for suggesting that I write a 'personal' poem about my mother, like you wrote about your 'mum.'<br /><br />Anie Vans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-s-strength/
