Mother
Mother! You offered me life, risking Your own.
You bore all pains to show me this earthly light.
You held my fragile head as if a precious crown
And nurtured my weak body each day and night.
Mother! Your affection roamed my existence.
A slight scratch on my finger made You weep
And You shielded my weakness like a fence.
You forsake Your earthly concerns, even sleep.
Mother! You smiled at success, cried at failure.
You gave the support to tread on, to overcome
Those threats that made me frightened, unsure.
You made a sacred Heaven out of a small home.
Mother! You are the dearest treasure I possess,
Which no casket, no safe can contain or insert.
The only place to treasure this heavenly grace
Is my innermost core, the unfathomable heart.
