Mother of Pearl

She’s like the sun that shines each day

She’s the one who’s advice I obey

She’s the only one who will try to understand

The one who’s love is irreplaceable and grand

Just like the earth that bears us with pride
She’s the only one who will stay by my side

The one who’s arms embrace so tight

She’s the one who’s make things right

The one who copes with the hardest years

The one who’s there to wipe away the tears

Even though we’re different from one another

She’s my defender my lovely mother.

A joy to read an oldie by one of my favorite poets Anais. Love, Carol
