Mother

Love shone her rays
The deserved enhances
In her warmth embraced.

I searched her eyes
To partake of her light
I am all she’d born
But so many she serves
Their wishes she indulges.

I searched her soul
To partake of her light;
Keep not for self, I learned

Be a vehicle for God;
What He gives, I learned
Love commands...
To the next, to the next.
The self serve least.
