I Know My Mother
I know my mother’s hair,
Soft and coarse,
Whether it be dyed or natural,
Tidy,
And sometimes messy,
I know my mom’s hair
I know my mother’s fingers,
Cold but warm,
Skinny but strong,
Like the soft sound of light rain,
Gracefully folding papers,
I know my mom’s fingers
I know my mother’s feet,
Empathetic,
Always going into other shoes.
Careful,
Tanned from walking in sandals,
But clean,
I know my mom’s feet
I know my mother’s smile,
Authentic, Loving and proud,
Never cruel.
And sometimes smiling at my clumsiness,
I know my mom’s smile
I also know my mother’s heart,
And it's comforting power,
when she smiles,
when she hugs,
when she congratulates,
I know my mom’s heart the best.
