Mother

Her sleek and slender face,

The unspoken honesty in her ways,

The perpetual light that gleams through her eyes,

Her innocence and her faithful advice.

Her pure and generous speech;

The forte of her words have the power to reach.

She has rough, yet gentle hands,

Through each struggle she steadily stands.

Her unconditional love,

So eternal, like the twinkling stars, above.

Her undying selflessness and simplicity,

Are signs of our everlasting bonds and their purity.

Her heart teeming with love, is like an brimming river,

She is more than a mother, she is a God-sent savior.
