Love Poem: My Friend, My Mother

My Friend, My Mother

What words do I write? What words can I say?
About my dear Mother, when there is really no way...
To adequately state, to totally uphold,
A real superwoman which never gets told.

The credit she deserves cannot be explained.
Exalt her I do for she's truly ordained.
Her spirit is relentless. Her courage so great.
With a heart so big I can only elate.

Her will is astounding though her mountains are steep.
Her compassion's abounding. Her integrity runs deep.
With endurance so endless and vitality, did I mention?
Perseverance, she has plenty; her best, her intention.

A greater compliment I could never receive,
Compared with my mother? Truly, I can't even perceive,
For she is unique, surely one of a kind.
For one, even remotely, like her I never could find!

My dear Mother I honour. My dear Mother I praise.
The Lord, always, He's with her for she lives by His Ways.
Never shall I know again, one so dear and true.
My dearest, most beloved friend, I truly, deeply love YOU!!!
