Happy Mother's Day

Everything and more

She smiles,
And the world is filled with her beauty.
She walks,
And I see the proud strut of all women.
She sings,
And I hear a thousand melodies.
She talks,
And I hear all the wisdom of the ages.
She moves,
And I see the beauty of motion.
She crys,
And my heart breaks into shattered pieces.
For she is everything and more
But above all she is the light of my life.

What is a Mother worth?

I humbly appraise my mother's worth,
It began with pain to give me birth,
Which triggered off a love so strong,
Blossoming into a life-long bond
When needed, she was always there,
Someone I realized would always care.
And the older I got the more I knew,
A mother's love sincere and true
Now as I watch my mother age in years,
I'm happy to help and ease her fears.
Privileged now to play my part,
As she did for me from the very start
