Mother
Thank you for your unanimous praise
Complete and unchanging throughout the days
Your smile shining above me like the sun
Knowing my life has just begun
No matter what your love is true
Even with the stupid things I do
Congenial and kind
With love eternally blind
Teaching me honesty and morality
Never giving a technicality
Surrounding me in safety
But never trying to restrain me
I’m glad you are who you are
And not some far off star
You are my mother
There is no other
