A Mother's Love

Her words, her comfort,
It's not like any other.
Her touch is gentle, her words are kind,
It can only be my mother.

These days,
great moms are hard to find.
But I know I'm lucky,
because one of those great moms is mine.

It doesn't matter where I'm at,
she is always there.
I am blessed to say I have a loving mom
who genuinely cares.

Laughing or crying,
she is always by my side.
She has celebrated my accomplishments,
she has held me when I've cried.

Her love is like magic,
phenomenal and rare.
I know she loves me,
and I really, truly, care.

When I was born 13 years ago,
I was constantly sick
but I knew you would be there,
fast and quick. 

Her smile is delicate and sweet
and her huge, loving heart
can't be beat.

I had my first surgery
when I was 9 months old.
You both were so worried,
but then you were relieved when you were told.

I was alive, I was healthy!
You were both happy as could be.
Praising God for letting you have number three.

Ever since the day of my birth,
You have been there.
And I have no price for how much that's worth.

A mothers love is unexplainable,
mothers are strong, mothers are sustainable.

Parenting is a team effort
between you and your spouse.
You two have done a great job
running our house.

A mothers love is cherished by me,
it is placed close to my heart.
I know if she loves me forever, 
I will never fall apart.
