Steemit-uyo Poetry Contest - A Mother #MyEntry

She counts the steps
of the moon and listens
to my breath as I
in pleasure mourn

She lends a shoulder
to stand
in order to pluck
my destination from the strand

She bellows assurance
into my ears
telling me,
she's always here

She weds,
my fears with tears
building my dreams
devoid of wears

She sells her wrapper
for love and funds
that I may like,
the rich have fun

She defies the scorching
of the sun
in order
to make her boy
worth counting a son

She blends
with the hard bend
in order to keep me
with the trend

She rises at dawn
and walks
my work
till the day's done

She breathes my living and delights at my inking

She's my sweet-mother
who bears my pain
in her womb
of warm

She's always within range
thus,
like change,
I strive not to disappoint.

Truly yours,
