A Mother

All I need A kiss goodnight To know I’m loved It will be all right Her sweet smile A mother’s care Her gentle touch Brushing my hair Being young and little Not having a clue How to feel Or what to do She will tell me What to wear How to reach my dreams And play fair Teach right from wrong With just one look Eyebrows raised That’s all it took She gives the best advice Always by my side Trying my best To be her pride A mother like her Is so hard to find Wise and funny Generous and kind She did everything right I hope she can see A person as passionate I strive to be She’s larger than life As a child I grow Even when I’m older She’s still my hero
