Footprints on My Heart In tender traces, soft and slight,Your tiny feet crossed over mine.Though held in arms not mine to claim,Your echo lingers, sweet, divine.The paths diverged, yet still entwined,By threads unseen, your laugh, your tears.Each step you take, far from my reach,Resounds in me through all these years.I gave you wings to find…
Morning stirs, her day unfurled,Quiet feet tread a waking world.Coffee brewed, lunches packed,Silent labors, love intact.Through the rush, she stands as stone,Sacrifices made, often alone.Smiles cloak the weight she bears,Strength in every step, she dares.Dinner ends, dishes cleared,Evening’s peace, not as it appeared.Thoughts race as children rest,Plans for more, giving her best.Nightly prayers beside their…
Whispered truths in the cradle’s sway,Life’s first lesson begins her day.Patience blooms in the sleepless night,Love’s deep roots, hidden from sight.Joy found in a muddy hand,Strength in rising, again to stand.Grace in tears, wiped away,Hope in trying one more day.Wisdom shared in stories old,Courage in the truths she told.Gentleness in the sternest words,Freedom in the…
A Girl’s Path to Motherhood Tiny toes in morning grass,she dances, laughs,the world – vast canvas, untouched.Dreams like dandelions, scattered.Time threads through young fingers,a ribbon winding, binding,schoolyard chants to sweet sixteen,each year a stitch on the seam.A bloom in the mirror,beauty unfurling, soft and sudden,tender heart, bold in dreams,learns love’s weight, gentle and burdensome.Wedding lace…
Solitary Sunrise In morning’s quiet,she stirs—a single mom,bracing against the day.Coffee drips,a clock ticks,tiny feet patter—her world awakes.Lunches packed,kisses given,out the door—her love, unspoken, vast.Evening comes,stories shared,sleepy eyes close—she breathes, at last.Stars twinkle,in her gaze linger—dreams of tomorrow,woven in her steadfast will. Meaning This poem captures the daily rhythm of a single mother’s life, marked…
Iron will in every stride,Roots run deep, they do not hide.Her voice, a river, clear and bold,In her stories, wisdom told.Eyes alight with fierce intent,Through storms, she’s never bent.Her hands mold futures bright and sure,Her spirit strong, forever pure.Legacy of fight and fire,Lifts her children ever higher.Pride and power in her frame,A mother’s love, a…
Black queen, strong and wise,Grace in every truth she spies.Her laughter, a melody played loud,Her head, forever high and proud.In her arms, fierce battles rest,In her heart, the bravest nest.With steps that shake the ancient ground,In her voice, freedom’s sound.Stars reflect her shining might,Guiding through the darkest night.Roots deep in rich history’s loam,She stands—a fortress,…
Gratitude to Mommy Soft breezes speak your care,Through every calming touch, you’re there.Leaves rustle with your gentle sway,A lullaby at close of day.Sunrise hums your tender grace,In every warm, sunlit embrace.Evening stars, your watchful eyes,Guiding me through darkened skies.Your words, a stream that softly flows,Through rocky paths, around it goes.A nest built from your steady…
Black Mothers’ Resilience In gardens where love’s roots run deep,Their hands till soil where dreams may sleep.Gentle force, a quiet stand,Strength woven by a tender hand.With smiles that carve the morning sun,Through trials, their wills are never undone.In every whisper of the trees,Their legacy, like softest breeze.Eyes that hold the storms at bay,With laughter as…
A Skyward Bouquet Mom, your love, a soft cloud,Floats above, gentle, proud.Stars now echo your laugh,Moonbeams carve your photograph.In skies where angels sing,Your warmth nests under their wing.Each nightfall paints you near,In dreams, I feel you here.Gentle breezes carry your voice,In sunsets, you rejoice.Heaven holds your tender grace,In its endless, starry space.With every flower that…
