To My Mother
You were my boxer
Knocked down time and time again
But you always got back up.
You were my great oak
Rooted firmly
And fully unshakeable
You were my mother
My provider
My giver of life
But as you gave all you had
Let me be unselfish
So as I release you to he who made you
I simply say "thank you"
Though there is no sufficient time for it all
I say "...
