Our Mothers
Your eyes see tomorrow with hope
And your hearts made of gold
Your minds are sharper than a sword
You are smarter than many we know
That is why you help children grow
You go where no one dares to go
Always there for the young and old
The backbone of many homes
Your boldness, words cannot describe
In the battlefield, you do not retract
When trials come shooting like rockets
Throughout the rough storms
In the midst of tough times
As stones are thrown at you
You neither quit nor shiver
You persevere until you overcome
You tirelessly protect others
You have so much power!
Yet, you never oppress the oppressed
You are filled with kindness
You touch lives, indeed
You truly care for those in need!
You conduct yourselves with dignity
Dignity that most wish to emulate
You are always aware that in a relay
You pass the baton with no delay
Only if we could run our race with grace
Just like you do
Whatsoever you put your hands-on
Has a way of blossoming
We acknowledge your value
Hence, we salute you, our Mothers!
