The Strength of a Mother

In silence, her strength roots deep,
Winds may howl, her vigil keeps.
Each hardship met with steadfast grace,
In every line upon her face.

Tough as the oak, soft as the dove,
Fierce in her quiet acts of love.
Through storms and calm, she stands, she sways,
Guiding her kin through darkest days.

Tears she sheds, not seen but felt,
In every blow that life has dealt.
Yet with each dawn, her spirit fights,
Glowing warm, the first morning lights.

A fortress built of hope and dreams,
In her embrace, a fortress seems.
Unseen, she bears life’s ceaseless weight,
A mother’s strength, truly great.
A mother shows protective love and emotional strength to her child
A mother shows protective love and emotional strength to her child
A mother standing with the strength and grace of an oak tree
A mother standing with the strength and grace of an oak tree
