wanted to acknowledge the special day in
some form nonetheless.
Where gravity denies the lift
amongst the clouded zone shall sift
A mother built on earthly highs
all candy floss and battle cries
A heroine whose incantation
binds with every inhalation
Protector in their guarded den
a cook, a nurse, comedienne
Nurture high up in her nature
no grand reward for her labour
Just a little slice of sleep
to then recharge, forever keep
Their childhood in a jar of hearts
to never empty or depart
To grow and beat and redesign
allowed across that boundary line
That dreadful haul, that clouded zone
that sees her main role overthrown
Till then she'll go yet unaware
of rising inches in the air
