A Mother For Life

A person one loves

Mom of one and all that strives
O'er and under the bed who searches for you
The one that lits the candle 
   and sleeps with you
Honor thy Mother for life
Even without lost pictures 
  or unknown origin of life that bow
Remember who you are

From her, you survived and lived
  what you are and how
On and off the roads you hop and grow 
Reels of trials and challenges you blow

Life lived with or without a mother
In your heart you needed a sister or a brother 
Forever a memory you keep and live by
Every night and day you ask, "Why?"
