Mom

My mother is very gentle and kind A heart of gold, but a worried mind She to me is the world and the best Never complains or utters contest The bringer of life is a committed love To her children, who squabble and shove Finding strength when we were in danger Guarding us from every stranger Guiding light in a sea of fear Enchanting voice to soothe our fears Mamma ensures your bellies full and never cold The smartest teacher and always bold A pedestal above your earthly needs And so to her I do this deed An ode to small to log in time But it’s for mom… A gift of mine
