I could not think of a single women
that could hold all the power given
from mother to grandmother and the great grandmother
I only know from portraiture
I could not form a single thought
that would honour the strong women
documented on family tree
spirit strong, family strong, men gone
The mother nature sings to me
giving much beauty and honesty
that lands with words, flies with breath
revealing life and death
MOTHER acrostic for Claire Rose
M any a long day in the garden
O nly to have the bugs eat the leaves
T he snails squashed underfoot
H er hair held back with cotton
E very day was care and creation
R evealed in worn hands and quick wit
