'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

Especially penned for Mother's day
as requested by the Men's Fellowship at our church

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!
