A Mother's Blessing

Looking California
For every soul
There is a mother
A single form
Made like no other

First to shelter
First to see
All the joy
That life can be

The first to love
The first to care
Her deepest heart
For all to share

First to laugh
First who cried
Always transparent
With her pride

And when your conscience
Needs a guide
Or you are aching
Deep inside
You'll see her arms are
Open wide

The first to love you
