Ode To My Mom

To the giver of my life, The bearer of this child, My protector from strife, My guide from going wild. To the nurse of my aches, The suave of my pains, The baker of my cakes, My umbrella from the rains. To the teacher of my youth, The mentor of my mind, The one who’d soothe my tooth, Always fair and kind: This is my tribute to you, An ode to my mom. Thanks for giving me the strength To righten when down. Thanks for going to any length To get rid of my frown. Thanks for the times we’d just talk And you’d be my friend. Thanks for teaching me to walk, And to stand up, in the end. Thanks for giving me your love And taking the time to care. And when you’re gone to heaven above, I’ll always look up and see you there. This is my tribute to you, I love you, Mom.
