Mother


Bright like the sun

Beauty overflows

You shine among us as stars do,

In the empty might sky

 

Luminous as the moon

Gentle as a bear,

Still your compassion surpasses it all

 

Generous, yes, you are

Your good deeds overflow us

Like water does to earth

 

Always there

Always warm

For you I’m grateful for

 

You are my lucky star

                     among them all.

<p>Well I personally wrote this poem and my favorite part in all of it was realizing that there was so much more a mother accomplish compared to so little written but I was proud that I could acknowledge them.</p>
