Treasure--By Inge Wesdijk (Daginne Aignend--The Netherlands

Treasure

You never complained
though life wasn't always easy on you
You went through
imminent moments, worries and anxiety
But still you smiled
because you didn't want
to be a burden
Introvert,
keeping your problems to yourself
Sometimes, when I wallow
in unreasonable self-pity
I remember your words
'every new day is a little present
  I unwrap it
  and make it special'
So blessed, I still have you
The sweetest, most courageous
woman
and mother on earth

(I have written this poem for my mother and called it 'Treasure.'  I consider my mom as the biggest treasure on earth, and I treasure every day I still have her here with us.")

Inge Wesdijk (Daginne Aignend) is a Dutch poetess.  She likes hard rock music, photography and fantasy books. Inge is a vegetarian and spends a lot of time with her animals. She started to write English poetry four years ago and posted some of her poems on her Facebook page and on her website.
