Mother

Your hugs and kisses tether me to goodness

Your anger and scolding makes me better

How lonely a journey you have travelled

Without losing hope and never giving up

You throw your emotions aplenty

But without them, how lost we all would be

Because it is the strength in your heart

And the love in your veins

That gives out such energy

It's the only thing that can jolt us out of ennui

The only thing that can prevent us from wrongdoing

The only thing that can blunt our stubbornness

The only thing that can make us feel 

That there is light at the end of the tunnel

No matter how lost we have become

There is a force that is ever waiting at home.
