In My Mother's Eyes

In my mother's eyes I see my hero I know fear is far at bay In her eyes I feel protection In her smile I see my face Cause She has loved me first before anybody else She carried me till the ninth month so deeply close to heart She breathed life into my lungs Held my hand within her palms Showed me guidance in ever way Made me who I am today In my mother's eyes I see my hero I know fear is far at bay In her eyes I feel protection In her smile I see my face Those arms are always open so I can curl within For her I'm always special without my need to win Her soul ever a rainbow in hues of human kind For She carries no prejudice among coloured or white In my mother's eyes I see my hero I know fear is far at bay In her eyes I see protection In her smile I see my face Our days,lunchbox of memories filled with tender loving care Past nights,eternal bookmarks of her fingers playing gently with my hair I know one time I'd have to wake up in a world of all alone In the stars I'll have to find her cause mama won't be home In my mother's eyes I see my hero I know fear is far at bay In her eyes I feel protection In her smile I see my face Dedicated To My Beloved Mother Thank you for being a mother,a father a sister,and even my best friend Happy Birthday With Love oxoxoxo (27th September)

I don't know your mother but I've seen her on Facebook and she seems very sweet and supportive of you. I can't say the same about my parents but I do have some fond memories of my childhood. That penultimate stanza is a tearjerker

You must love your mother very deeply! I enjoyed this from start to finish - those eternal bookmarks was a nice sentimental touch.
