Born and raised
Loved and hugged
My mother's love
As gentle as a dove

I'm my own wallflower
And she's the garden
The more I shrink in the corner
The more she colors my somber

Even though time rebels
As I darken my vessels
I know in my heart
You are my light in the dark

So this dear mother
I say as your daughter
I love you, with all of me
For you've helped me grow my seeds

This is your day
In this garden where we stay
I'll love you all the way
Happy Mother's Day
