mothers run the universe
sing to young foals these newest souls
of the world and its creatures diverse
with tenderest smiles and feminine wiles
they can acquire anything that they want
their gentle words could calm songbirds
but their powers they never will flaunt
for their duty's to love, to give one gentle shove
and then let children take their own dives
they open wide hearts and teach us their arts
from the beginning they shape all our lives

A great way to explain a mother's role - how true, they do guide and nudge and hope their young can make it on their own. Nice write.

Lovely and different. Word art is special....it's better than average!
Only thing is it appeared to be so tight that a breeze couldn't flow through..at least to me. Maybe it was the lining....could perhaps double space the verses? Just an idea! -
Ah! I just read through this poem again and realised I didn't get the rhyme scheme right! It's more ..

.. I still love it .. even more so, in fact! -
nice
not just to mothers but to woman in general, beautiful, womanly intuition, most men are envious but never tell, being raised by a single motherand my sister, picked up on some of it, and alot of the sensitivity, so can actually relate to this alot, nice write, and thanks for your kind comments -
Mothers...find ways to shape the world...
in situations that don't ever see...
because they teach the very fiber of morals
that we take all though our lives...
somehow it strengthens each & every of us at sometime!
well done my friend!
I did enjoy this very much!
Keep penning on one stroke at a time!
