My Home Away From Home

Mother is a teacher, leader and protector.
This indulgent, tranquil place;
The place I call home.
In touch with my vulnerability,
Yet still igniting my sense of freedom.
Crickets chirp creating an ambience,
A peaceful angel's cry.
Thus far we still stand here, on this warm summer night.
My eyes are amazed and my attention is kept,
One more look before our good nights rest.
Standing in awe, embellished in its serenity,
Engulfed in the array of the vibrant prosperity.
Symphony of stars, shining above,
But will Mother be a protector for those who are far?
