You are a gift from above
A shooting star
You are the water
That washes away my blues and sorrows
That hardens my shell
Your strength and love
Guided me, gave me wings
Help me soar
Reaching beyond the walls of impossible
Your eyes
Soft and calm
They've seen through me
My tears, my laughter, my joys, my disappointments
Sparked when I am disrespectful
Stern when I needed a lesson
Wrinkles started to form
At the edge of your eyes, youth is fading
You are aging
Time will come and take you away from me
I will never trade the moments we shared together
The lessons you taught me
For your heart is of purest gold

Happy Mother's Day Mama
