Her Heart Is Golden

She's a free spirited woman
Full of life
Full of hope 
Full of compassion
Though her shell is fragile 
Her faith is strong 
She stand by her beliefs 
Though she's made mistakes and 
learned to move on 
Maybe she can't promise she won't make more
But her radar is on high alert to detect 
even the smallest pulse of distress 
She's an amazing inspiring woman
Outgoing outspoken
Never utter the "F" word
Giving and caring is her nature 
Always making sure everyone is loved 
Although she's not a good cook 
but you'll never go hungry with her 
She'll never ask you for anything 
but making sure you're happy 
She'll be there when needs be
She'll take you in her home for free 
And everyone fits perfectly into her heart 
all colors, shapes and sizes 
She's very much beautiful inside and out 
Her heart is golden and 
She's my mother my best friend 
and i HEART her... Smile!
