My Mother’s Love (A Villanelle)
Do you know my mother
she is Love personified
she isn’t like the changing weather
‘I long to hear her, brother’
she is kindness glorified
Do you know my mother?
Calmness embodies her
I never see her petrified
she is not like the changing weather
A heart as that of feather
with all her burdens buried
Do you know my mother?
She can never be a bother
she is the pillar of pillars to hide
she is not like the changing weather
She only knows love’s smother
Never does she mind my tired
Do you know my mother?
she is not like the changing weather!
