Mother

A knowing glance

A listening ear

You always know how to comfort me

A big bear hug

A loving smile

You always know when I need you

A soft hand

A warm touch

You always have my back

You’re always there

To show me the way

To steer me right

From beginning to the end

You’re by my side

There is no other

You are my mother.

–Author’s Note: Although I wrote this in honour of my mother, this goes out to all the mothers (and aunts, sisters, cousins and friends who are like a mother) on this special day and every day. Happy Mother’s Day!
