A Mother's Love

To wake up to a breakfast fried.
To see your loving smile.
To see you standing by my side.
To talk a little while.

With the one who gave me life.
With the one who cried.
With the one whose soul through strife,
Stayed faithful by my side.

Give flickers of eternity.
Bring feelings like the sea.
You give such caring rich and free.
You gave such help to me.

Who will say and name the price,
of a mother's love?
The value placed on your advice,
Could buy the stars above!
