Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.
This poem is dedicated to my mother and all mothers of great character.
Silent Angel
Mother, mother, angel forever,
Whether on earth or in heaven,
You lead us into prayer,
Teaching us discipline, as without
It we’re just marauders, aimless,
Painfully self-conscious of falling in a bout
In the boxing ring of life. Your selflessness
Taught us compassion, empathy
That strengthen our humanity in less
Aggravating circumstances that bless
Us with your sweet prayers, heard
By GOD to empower us through hardness
Of disillusionments, disappointments
That lay heavily on our soft hearts,
Yet, my angel, you raise me from depressants
To brilliant smile that glitters
Blinding the observer into thinking
Your worries are absent glimmers.
