A Mother's Mark

Everyone can see it is you I reflect
No other choice would I ever select

Mouth to eyes that all match my own
The image in the mirror shows I am never alone

Sometimes apart but this I can say
These pieces of you will forever stay

Everything you gave is impossible to cover
No other deserves the true name of “Mother”
