Power In Quiet Strength ©Dawn Minott — Tribute To My Mom |Quatrain with audio

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry37 Comments

I have never seen my mother crying

Or hear her utter needless complaining

Though heaven knows, there’s no denying

Life’s given her much cause for whining

***

I have never seen my mother stopped trying

Or see her back down from trials and failing

Got up when she fell, pathways retracing

‘Till she reached the goal she was intending

***

I have never seen my mother not providing

Or not ensured her children were eating

No job too small, if honest, she was working

Late at night or early morning—always returning

***

I have never seen my mother not praying

Or trusting in God for the way making

No mater the cause she’s not worrying

An example she is in persevering

***

I have never heard my mother shouting

Or seen her get her way by conniving

Humility and truth is her way of being

Quiet strength—that’s her power—emanating

Happy Mother’s Day Mommy!

Beauty in Death©

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry12 Comments
On my walk, I came across this lone tree, amidst green, transitioning into her season of change

‘Tis the season, autumn’s change ’bout to begin
Even in the “death” of trees there’s beauty within
Packed with lessons sublime, if we but only see
Rebirth comes after dying, letting dead things be

Some times change is designed just for you
You can’t imitate what others might do
When it’s your season, let things go
It’s in the letting go that you will know

What waits for you on the other side
Remains unknown till you cross the divide
Change is scary, so much to go through
The journey is worth it, trees testify this to be true
