My Mindful Mother

My mother is thoughtful, Mindful of all my needs; With love and care for me, Showing me her good deeds. Hearing my cry in crib, She will come running; Holding me so softly, As she dances with humming. As I feel her loving arms, And her warm embrace too; I am truly safe and sound, Keeping me cool in her view. At times I smile in my sleep, Knowing that she's on my side; Awakened, trying to get off my crib, She will take me to a joy ride. As I crawl across the floor, Grasping anything around; My mother is on guard, Aware of harm on the ground. Learning to stand and walk, She guides me all the way; Always alert from the start Till the end of each day. She begins the day with a smile, With joy before the task and after; I won't forget in my lifetime My ever mindful mother.
