A mother brings forth life
Which is the greatest gift of all
She will be your best supporter
With her love you will stand tall

A mother's heart beats for her children
It goes everywhere they go
She tells them in so many ways
How much she loves them so

A mother provides a shelter
As she guides you through the storm
Her arms will give protection
Her love alone will keep you warm

A mother's love is priceless
She is worth her weight in gold
'tho the years may age her body
Her love will never grow old

A mother's arms are always open
Her love forever by your side
She is someone you can count on
In her you always can confide

A mother can take the place of others
But her place no one can take
She will stand right by her children
'tho bad decisions they might make

A mother lives life for her children
She's like the left hand to their right
Her love is comforting and inspiring
She'll always be a guiding light

"A mother's love is so strong and unyielding
that it usually endures all circumstances.
A mother's love perceives no impossibilities."
