The Giver

There are many words from which to choose To describe a perfect mother Say beautiful and kind and sweet and good One after the other The words that mean the most to me Narrate an endless river Of love and hope and sacrifice I call my mom, The Giver Through memories long I can recount The examples of compassion The first to help someone in need Her time she did not ration I may never truly know The reason I’ve been blessed But grateful that I have her And my love for her expressed

Such a beautiful tribute to your mother, Mike, but it could be said of my mother, as well. She was a Giver, too.
