  • Wool Socks

    She sacrificed everything
    her figure
    her fingers
    her career
    her bones

    She shepherded selflessly
    with milk
    with music
    with lessons
    with combs

    Her love was undying
    in tears
    in laughter
    in worship
    in home

    She knitted hearts together
    for God
    for country
    for friends
    for foes

    Mother gave us warmth and light
    at birth
    at supper
    at death
    at the throne
