Mother

Mother, you're the lighthouse
That illuminates my path
Mother, Your the advisor,
and consoler of my wrath

Mother, you're the toothpaste,
that keeps my language clean
Mother, your the glasses
that keep my vision keen

Mother, you're the walking cane
that guides me along the way
Mother, you're the crimson rose
I stop to smell each day

Mother, you're the safety pin
when things won't come together
Mother, you're my rainbow
right after stormy weather

I thank God for all you do
and what you mean to me
I love you Mom, I always will
For all eternity

Great use of the rhyme form here Sandra. How fortunate you are to have had such a wonderful relationship with your mother. You have to read "Adult Child of an Alcoholic" to know what mine was like ... smile ... anyway, this is a very well-deserved write to be included as a feature of the week here at the Soup. Congratulations to you.

A wonderful tribute that would make any momma proud. I feel the same about my own, and don't know what I'd do without her. Congrats on this beautiful, well-deserved write being featured. :) Cheers, Alana
