My Mother

She's a rose,
Beauty in every dose.

With petals of patience
And a heart full of care,
Don't mistake her kindness
For weakness to spare.

For no rose is made
Just for the gaze,
Like every rose,
She has thorns in her ways.

This short poem is a heartwarming praise that balances a mother's gentle love with her inner strength. The metaphor of the rose, indeed, is very relevant. Congratulations!
