As a child I could see In her eyes, only misery. Did not know how and why All her tears I tried to dry Never did she ever complain About her sorrow, about her pain Deep within she held her sorrow Her world inside empty and hollow Love was all that she ever gave Showing us all that she was brave Hiding all the thorns that pierced, Her sweet life all these years.
Till this very day she has hope Life will change that she will cope But the courage that she shows With every passing day that grows That is what she has been to me The only ship that sails in the stormy sea Facing all that stands in her way Only to be stronger the next day That is what she chose her life to be Without fear she will seek victory She is my pillar of strength, my mentor The one who gave me life... My Mother.
