An Imprint in my Heart by Poet Angela Brown
A Mother whispers love
With the weeping of joyful praise
As her silence echoes quietly
And time remains still
Her tears bring back new life
As the rays from the sun
Break up the grey clouds
That pours down tears of joy
Like the colors of fall leaves
Red, yellow, orange, green
Leaves that covet shallow ground
Her love embraces nature calling her
More precious than spring
A new flower begins to bud
Blooming its sweet nectar
While blowing its warm scent in the wind
A summer’s day shines brightly in the sun
As a family gathers freely in time
Loving one another feeling Mother’s love
While loving life itself
And a mother’s love is but a dream
Of a pressed leaf that stains its imprint
On a blank page of my heart
Leaving its final words of loving life
For a mother love comes from her heart
