Mother Dearest

From the first time I opened my eyes 
You were the first one to hear my cries 

You held my hand and showed me the way
Gave me directions so I don't go astray 

You taught me right from wrong 
And showed me how to be strong 

You set the path for me to crawl 
You picked me up whenever I fall 

I will love you forever no matter what 
I swear to God and that's a fact 

You're more than a mother you are my queen
There's no one better and no in-between 

You have my trust and my whole heart 
The bond that we share will never part 

You sacrificed your life and all that you do 
To take care of us and see us through 

You are more than a treasure, or a lost artefact 
I would kill for my mother and that's a fact

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
