Hallowed Feet
By: JP Leddy
Walking with hallowed feet
Nurturing with love
Correcting with acceptance
Sacrificing without complaint
Working with little sleep
Rejoicing with laughter
Comforting with hugs
Serving with little thanks
A Hero, A Mentor
An Idol, A Saint
Mother

Fantastic write! One could not ask for anything better than when they get someone who cares so much that it leaves an impression from childhood on.

When it comes to role models, mentors etc, our mothers beat all others.

“Correcting with acceptance.” What a great line and great truth. Takes me back to the feeling of “Just spank me or something, but don’t be disappointed!” Great poem.

LOL. You are so right.
