'a Mother's Trademark'

You are that pillar 
Our sometimes silent or verbal 
Cheerleader
You are the epitome of boundless love

A rare and tangible kind
Even while you scold
You possess the ability 
To love us even when we feel
Undeserved of any kind of love

A smile to uplift
A hug to reassure
You nurture
Even when you need nurturing the most 
That is who you are
 
We love you mom

this is excellent, dear Wilma. I hope your mother was wonderfully pleased by it. One of the best I have seen for Mother's Day!
