A Rare Gem

Perfection is not seen in man but your perfection 
Is beyond precious stones
Only the sun and the moon knows how far you climbed
To get Me down. 
Life could have been incomplete in your absence. 
You had no silver or jewels to offer
When I needed, but you made it clear that you would have given if it were there
Still you gave something even better. 
Something that will never leave my heart 

I never really knew I could die for someone 
I never knew I could die for you 
But am proud to say, 
If you didn't mind risking your life to have me
I don't mind too. 

My heart has been broken so many times,
But never by you.
You fix them, even when you run out of bandage.
I know in my heart that in hundred of years
I would still wish to have you as a guide. 
A guide that covers in times of rain
A guide that sacrifices in time of need
A guide that comforts in time of hurts. 

You could only be found on earth 
Not even in Venus. 
But where you reside is in my heart 
Human cannot appreciate you 
Only the heavenly atmosphere are aware 
Of your tender care
They sing to your patient. 
They clap to your hard work 
And they revolve around your smile
I can only forget to remember, 
The tensity of your hood
For in you my little secret is safe.

The remembrance of your deed
Uproots tears from my within
The elaboration of your effort in my head 
Competes with my goals 
On being the smaller you
Your happiness is my life fulfillment 
Your personality should be drawn on the 
Walls of the country

You have no governmental income
But my needs are always met.
You made me know that being broke is 
A state of mind 
And you prepare me for the future 
You have proved yourself thousands of times
Your strength cannot be bounded even by the oceans
For you are strong,
And you have shown that In the labour room

You being a gem  
Is far beyond pushing out 
But Completing it by providing, 
Caring, and encouraging me. 
You're rare indeed 
Today I am fulfilled 
In being your daughter 

I love you mother. 
And I hope you know in your heart 
That everything I do is all for you.

The ending made me tear up, this is so thoughtful and sweet and so heartfelt, you really have a heart of gold and all your poems are i think inked with diamonds, as they are precious and comes from deep within you! I wish your mother good health and happiness. And she is lucky to have you as you are to have a mother so strong , sending you light always

Awww, thank you, Dear Ink. That made me smile. I'll tell my mum of your wishes when I go see her. You're a sweet soul too and I'm grateful for having you here. I'm sorry for making you tear up. Hahaha.

What a beautiful tribute, this is for your mother. I know she has a prime place in your heart and life. "I would still wish to have you as a guide. A guide that covers in times of rain A guide that sacrifices in time of need A guide that comforts in time of hurts." Indeed a loving mother is a guide to her children, especially to her daughters. Your mother will be so proud of you dear Tonye.
