Musings on My Mother

I stand in awe of the woman God made
Humbled that your blood runs through my veins.
I will carry your legacy with pride upon my heart.
A badge of honor
I am Lyster's daughter
There is no greater joy
Than knowing you are the sun
And I am your warrior

You are the whetstone that sharpens
The echo of dancing bells that carry laughter in the breeze
The strong, comforting wings that wrap around to let me know itsokayitsokayitsokay.

You are sunshine and rain and
I-will-do-whatever-it-takes and
It-is-okay-to-make-mistakes and
Try-again-my-child
You are a mighty force
That puts tsunamis to shame

Underneath the stardust of the galaxies,
You are a lighthouse
You are the compass that always points True North
In you, I will always find home.

I love you, always.

May you grow in incandescence
With each passing year.
