I have never seen her naked
I have only seen her happy
I have never seen her sad
I have seen her hurt

I know not of the troubles she saw and conquered
Her strength enlightens the secret valley
Her garden is well off

She built walls of strong if it wasn’t her then her being built a boat

Good Day Mam

Well the poem it's about a flower that grew internally so the line is a metaphor how the flower molded me strongly just by existing.

Please feel free to let me know if I didn't explained it in your satisfaction.

Thank you for reading my poem.
