The Gift

Far too many for all to see. Too many gifts you've given to me. I always knew you'd be there with me till the end. What a wonderful blessing with you as my friend. I've hated, cursed you, and trampled over your land. But in my times of pain, you were holding my hand. A teacher, a friend, a nurse, and a joy, even alone you made me a man, from a boy. You always put us kids first, even if your life was the cost. Without you as my guide, my life would sadly be lost. Mother, I love You. Your constant great gifts. My life's been a heaven. Thanks to you my heart lifts!
