Mother, You Are

You are in essence and in spirit maternal A soul full of love unconditional and eternal In growing through the many stages and phases You guided me to discard my many vices You are my reminder of the strength of womanhood Courage to face the world and wisdom to fear God When I am lost your prayers pave the right path Through my sufferings you preach to me the truth You are the daughter who blossomed to becoming The woman who is the mother to my being You are more than a lady, you are a Goddess With supernatural strength to move mountains You are giving and nurturing with nothing to gain Through wars and misery your tears sooth the pain My immaturity hated your firm hand and strict rules Now in maturity I embrace and enforce these principles You are my mentor, instilled in me infinite self believe Groomed in me the virtues of motherhood and abundant love Now I walk tall with pride in my bosom Thank you for the love always mom
