The Ties That Bind Poem by Ann Beard
The Ties That Bind
I am the lonely matriarch that spends,
a lifetime - deftly catching many ends.
Connecting every loved one to a friend
to make our children fit to comprehend.
I am the mother of all ties that bind.
More dedicated one you will not find.
To feed and nurture flair - I am so bound;
my words of soft persuasion are profound.
While all around I hear the rasping sound
of our moral duty scraping on the ground.
I am the mother of all ties that bind,
and I will not rest easy on your mind.
When I am shabby, worn, quite unable
to be anything but good for natures table.
I pass on pride complete with finished label,
and my Mantle will be worn by one more able.
I am the mother of all ties that bind,
reminding all Gods children to be kind.

Ann, this is wonderful and it touches me on a personal level because it so much describes the life vision and efforts of my own mother. Family was her reason for living and everything she did in life was done for the sake of family. Thank you so much for a poem that brings her back to mind as I read it.
This is so sweet Ann, a lovely woven piece of poetry with such a deep meaning. a delightful read and a pleasure to find. Thank you. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
