To My Mother

Oh, mother how beautiful you are
Your heart that rested on me 
Constant arms that cared for me
And the smile that gave me peace

Like a bird that tirelessly feeds its own
Flying away to search for food with love
Risking vagaries of traps and weather
You never left me in hunger

Loving mother, your heart is the beauty
That I can find nowhere in this world
No flower can rival your splendor
 No creature on earth can rival your role

Mother, I’m grateful for the warm love
Nothing under the sun is more precious
