Mother

Mother
My mother you were always there for me.
Giving advice, always listening I remember very fondly.

When my heart was filled with saddness and hurt.
You gave me a hug and I felt your comfort.

When I was in trouble in many different ways.
The reasons of punishment you tried to convey.

I would rebel and wouldn't listen..
It caused unhappiness and a lot of friction.

You always gave of yourself to others that needed you.
Above your own feelings you gave through and through.

Mother what I am trying to say is I love you and your inner beauty.
You will always be in my heart here and in Heaven eternally.

A very beautiful tribute to your mother. Mothers were young once too, and I do believe almost all of us rebel when we are young. The cycle of life. No doubt she feels your love and gratitude within her loving spirit. Love, Shar
