Mother You Are

A.M. Morgan
A quiet voice of reason
A fair-weather friend despite the season
The open arms that welcome and comfort me throughout the night
The smile that warms my heart
The one who's there at the very beginning and even before I start
The one who will wipe my tears if I am crying alone in the dark
The person who is encouraging even when I miss the mark
The strongest person I've ever known
Through your prayers in God's image and likeness I've grown
With you by my side I have the strength to keep moving on
Your uplifting words allow my dreams to be reborn
I appreciate all that you've done
Your spirit travels with me as I face the rising sun
Mother You Are my First Love
A giver of life and unquestionable sacrifice
I am thankful to you for my birth which was ordained by God

    This is so beautiful that it made me cry for my own mother. I do miss her so. You have said it all in a poetic form. Thank you dear lady and Happy Mother's Day to you too.
