her majesty

She knew me when I didn’t

She cared for me when I couldn’t

She was the first word I spoke, her reassuring name

She was the first music I heard, her warm heartbeat

In her arms she held me

On her back she carried me

Northwards for my health

Eastern for my food

Southerly for my comfort

Western for my safety

Up with determination

Down with love

My first guardian angel

My ever present fortress

The sun of my days

The moon of my nights

The stars of my skies

The space of my heart

The river of my life

The source of the river

The river and the source

This gem I treasure

That germinated me

This love I adore

That molded me

My goddess of life

My empress of valor

The queen of my life, 

her majesty:

My mother
