A Mother's Bed

When sleep eludes you,

It waits for you in your mother’s bed.

When thoughts run wild and free,

Serenity lies in your mother’s bed.

A safe haven,

An escape from fear.

With arms of love,

She’ll hold you dear.

“MOM YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!”, you say,

But deep down, you know she knows.

And when you just don’t know what to do,

Through her heart, the way she shows.

Her voice chases the demons away,

The torch of light when darkness is all you know.

Her touch is solace,

Like the warmth of an incandescent glow.

Dear reader, to you I sincerely implore,

Love her, respect her, praise her.

She is the only one who will ever,

Ever love you for who you truly are.
