Tap tap tip tap

In her room

Mom.
You

like high-end
jewel so precious.
Your love is endless and enough
to me, you are perfect, unequal among the rest.

Bellow

Cero for you
is not enough
you always find
your way bellow...
you fall so deep
where I can't go
you always kill
the slightest hope.

My Mum is Lovely,
She is very cuddly,
My Mum is always nice,
She can fix things in a trice,
My Mum is really kind,
Whatever I do she doesn't mind,

They never know which one to choose

Nor which from a spectrum of hues!

Her Little Spark

Her little flame
 To light the dark
An ounce of heat
To warm her heart
She danced in tribute
Of her tiny spark
Together they became
A work of art
