Mum Is God

God  
                                              Is  Mum;
                                              Mum  is 
                                              Beloved.
                                         Grand   ways   in, 
                                          Has she  hidden  
                                        Sorrow   and   tears. 
                                        We  are  ever   safe  ... 
                                       Yet   rightly  guiding,
                                         Always   shielding;
                                       "Mum"  plays   often,
                                           Roles of saint
                                         With   long   life  
                                            Blessed  are 
                                               We, kids, 
                                                 God
