She was a bird That fed on knowledge And poured it into our mouths Waiting patiently for us to fly. She is a warrior Who wears her scars as medals For she is on the winning side. She is a bear, ferocious and strong. And God help the man Who pose as threat to her cubs. She is a mother, brave and beautiful, Who sacrifices so much for her children. She was a magic doctor, Who's kisses made The wounds heal instantly. She is a friend when there are none To be found. She is my mother.
