Mother
You feed – our hearts
make warm our whole
You forgive – our stumbles
see I for me not deeds
You mend – our hurts
cherish our fallen tears
You teach – our minds
patient with stubbornness
You guide – our choices
free us to risk wobbles
You protect – our innocence
a shield and sword to harm
You celebrate – our victories
a flag to inspire our best
You give – our sustenance
selfless charity from beginnings
You see – our beauty
you make us beautiful
Your love – our souls.
