Mama's Cobbler Apron (National Poetry Month, Quatrain, Mundane Objects)
Mama wore a cobbler's Apron,
That covered her front and back.
It was her badge of honor,
A flowery shield that kept her on track.
Now a forgotten dream, a formless husk.
A knight who once shielded a queen
Once bright warrior, now crumbling dust.
Sleep well, food-stained hero, among the unseen!
