The strands of gray in her hair tell of the worry she has felt for the people that she has loved throughout her life. Each line on her face tells of her excruciating pain and of her personal strife. She has lived her days with more pain than any one person should ever have to endure. And yet her heart is so full of love, it is so giving and so pure. If only I could caress her cheek and kiss her forehead and that be enough to make her well. If only I were stronger than her pain, I would pull it from her tired, aching body and throw it deep into the pits of hell. Her face tells a story of heartache, pain, worry, and despair. It also tells of love, hope, laughter and care. She is so much stronger than even she will ever realize. She is so much more than beautiful but she can't see it through her eyes. She raised five children and has made many sacrifices along the way. She is my Mother and I will love her until my dying day. |
