A Mother

A mother understands 

The things you say and do. 

She overlooks your faults

And sees the best in you. 

A mother can make you smile

No matter how you feel,

She always has the words

To help you grow and to heal.

A mother loves

With all her heart and soul

She’d do anything for you, 

Help you reach any goal.

A mother is all of this- and more. 

The greatest treasure known. 

And the dearest mother in the world,

Is the one I call my own. 

We still visit each other,

When I close my eyes at night.

I tell her how her love for me

Has made my life so bright.
