Poems From A Frustrated Mother

There was a young lady
who dared

To twist and to twirl
Her straight hair

When she never would stop
Her mom cut it off

And now she has short hair to wear.

February 2010, For My Mother

You have always been where I return,
The home that is my harbor from the sea,
The place where what I am can easy be,
With nothing I need alter or unlearn.

That you would give has always been a given,
Your love for me is something simply there,
As plain and necessary as the air,
And just as unpretentious and unbidden.

And though I cannot give you now your due,
Which is beyond what these poor words can say,
I give you all I can this special day,
Which is the reassurance of my love for you.
