Mother

I look into your eyes and see
All that I strive to be
The epitome of elegance and grace
Symbolic of the strength I need to run this daily race
The sweet voice of reason
Whose love encompasses throughout any season
As I stand facing the mirror
The image I see is you
And nothing in this world could be any dearer
In my heart and soul reigns true
You are the source of my being
In your stilettos I follow
Standing firm and never fleeing
From your mouth your words I devour
For nourishment and to allow me to grow
In your wisdom and knowledge I found power
So for all our earthly days, my true love I will show
You are my mother
God’s precious gift and like no other
So from my heart I say to you
For all the trouble
The tears I’ve made you cry
The nights without sleep
When you pondered the question why
And the promises I did not keep
Please accept from my sincere heart
A forgiving plea
To reseal the bond and never part
The unconditional love I have for thee
Mother, oh mother
As I stand facing the mirror
The image I see is you
And nothing in this world could be any dearer
In my heart and soul reigns true
How greatly blessed I am to have you.
