Mother

Year after Year
Season after Season
Holiday after Holiday
I shower you with the finest of gifts.

Little ways of letting
You know how much I care
This year I thought
I would celebrate your birth.

By writing these verses
Full of Sincerity and Purity
Love and Honesty.
In my eyes you are a treasure.

You are like a precious Stone
You are a Pearl among all Pearls
I can swim the deepest Ocean
And among all the rarest of Oysters.

I would never be able to find
A more Radiant and Unique Treasure
You are a diamond among diamonds
There are Rubies that are sold for millions.

But you are a Ruby amongst all Rubies 
You are priceless
When I think of you
I think of all the laughter
Fun and moments we share.

You are that friend I rely on
That  comforts all my sorrows
That wipes away all my tears
You are that angel.

That gave me wings to fly 
Confidence to overcome
Encouragement to face my fears
To me you will always be 
The greatest of all treasures.

Thank you for being 
A Wonderful Mom.
