Mother's Eyes

A child can dream of distant lands
or touching the stars above.
But, nothing is stronger than a child’s dream
except for their mother’s love.
A child could whistle to a happy tune
or play on a summer’s morn.
But, nothing is greater, in the mother’s eyes,
than the day that child was born.
A child can grow to be a person of wealth
or be happy and strong and wise.
Though, they have become adults in this world,
they’re still children in their mother’s eyes.
