a Mother's Gift

On the deep vast ocean
Fascinating yet daunting
I am reminded of your steady strength
I see the uniqueness in every wave
As you have taught me the promise
Of all mankind
I respect the ever changing tides
For you have acknowledged the goodness in me
I, in turn, thank the Lord
Through humbling nature
For the graceful pride
You have mirrored for me
When I drift too far too fast
I always know your hand is there
To hold me in your grasp
