What Mothers Are Made Of
(Mother's Day)

The blossom of a sunflower, bright as a smile
That's what mothers are made of.

The bonsai tree, still with dignity and posture
That's what mothers are made of.

The heart of a million, white-winged angels
That's what mothers are made of.

The awareness and protectiveness of a moon-eyed wolf
That's what mothers are made of.

A face more beautiful than a symphony
That's what mothers are made of.

Their voice is like a river,
running over the smooth stones that massage its body,
while the sunbeams bounce off of its cool surface.

Their love is unbound by physical laws and obstacles.
Their words are a book of life lessons.

Their knowledge is like an ocean with an endless horizon
which is never reached or contacted but absorbed.

That is what my mother is made of.
