The Mother

She reads us bedtime stories which builds our imagination
She holds us in her arms to protect us from the devastation
Even if we don’t know her she gives us wisdom and guidance
It’s because of her presence we learn respect, hard work, and diligence
She is what we all need to live out a wholesome life
She isn’t just a mother; she is a daughter, and a wife
It’s this angelic soul that secures our legacy
It’s her influence, tolerance, and empathy
When GOD created her he meant to give her all of these qualities and more
For he knew in what the world had in store
So learn to respect her better as she has taught us to respect each other
She may be a stranger to you, but to someone else she is the Mother
