Heaven Sent

She took us by the hand she guided us,
Guided us through the rough and dangerous avenues of life...
With the obstacles in the many roads that came our way,
She lead us, cutting her way through, as if she were a knife...

Cutting away at all troubles and sorrows
that caused us pain,
She taught us all that was good and evil
she kept us from going insane...

She fed us 
when we were overwhelmed with hunger,
She filled us with warmth and comfort
whenever we were among her...

She never left us alone
always standing by our side,
For she is MY MOTHER 
sent by God as our teacher and our guide...
