Oh mother dear
Life for you is a challenge
Inspires you to always dare.
Viewing life like an arena
Into which you seem to fight
A tough Herculean foe.

Vibrant as the waves,
Active as young gals.
Reserve like a
Queen...
Unique as pearl.
Emotionally incline but
Zealous as a champion.

Most mothers are dominant
Over -protective and possessive.
Rare are you who understands
All our needs and dreams.
God gave you to us
As someone to love.
