A mother can be said
To be the giver of life
To bring into the world
A child, to raise to adulthood
But to this child she has raised
My mother is so much more
In those many moments in life
When I had lost my way
When doubt had overwhelmed
Consuming every thought
She is there, like a guardian angel
To pluck the doubt from my mind
And guide me back to the true path
In those dark times of sorrow
When others turn their backs
Leaving me broken and alone
She has always been there
To comfort me, to help heal my wounds
She has provided so much more
Than the spark of life within
She is honest and trustworthy,
gentle and kind, supportive and loving
Truly a friend for all times
I know I have gone astray a time or two
Stubborn when you tried to help
But no matter how angry I became
You loved me unconditionally
For all that you have done for me
I can only say thank you
For I was and will always be truly blessed
To have a mother as wonderful as you

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Hope you print and frame this one, for your mom will surely cry a thank you tear for these words.

When my mother died, of old age, I wept for the mother she never was. It is nice to know that children also can be raised with love. Thank you.
