Heaven Lies at the Feet of My Mother
Our mother is an artist.
With soft hands she rolls dough
Creating a new dish every day
For her children,
Our tastebuds spoiled by her craft
Our mother is a poet.
Each sorrow that grazes our hearts
She stitches back together
With her words that know our souls
And her advice that nurtures our minds
Our mother is a warrior.
Her eyes are humility
Her arms are protection
Her legs are resilience
Everything about her says honor
Jack of all trades,
No reward, no recognition, no glory to be had
We tell her these praises in vain
Only to be told that all mothers love their children the same
But our mother to us is an angel on earth
With Jannah at her feet and harmony in her hands
She guards the kingdom that is her family
Our mother is our mother.
She accepts no further fame.
