Virtuous Mom

By Hortense Francis

No one else compares to the mother of all mothers.

She cares for all her children and friends like no other.

She rises early in the morning to prepare meals.

No one in her household complains or even squeals.

What a caring and loving matriarch.

When we are yet asleep, she rises and goes to the market.

She greets the vendors there and she know which ones to target.

She comes home laden with choice foods.

Her adventures are told and she is always in a good mood.

What a caring and mindful mom.

Breakfast is prepared on time with a dash of love.

Everyone eats and mentions how she is a good cook.

Neatly attired and sent off to school promptly.

Only to return hours later for dinner prepared splendidly.

What a kind and extraordinary mom.

We never bought clothes when young.

She finds the best linen and sews them strong.

We commune every night and study God’s word.

Blessed she is called by everyone near and far and this she deserved.

What a devoted mom.

A very hard-working mom who never sits idle.

She teaches us words of wisdom and tells us over our mouths to put a bridle

She encourages us to study God’s word and praise

Because in doing this our blessings we will raise

We salute you, our virtuous mom.
