DAY 17
MOTHER
I know a gracious being,
Pains are hidden behind her smiles,
Difficulties are settled with the light of her heart,
She is the reason behind my every smile.
She's a goddess.
One who is a carrier of life.
She radiates greatness like the
Tall standing mountains and her voice is soothing to the soul
I know someone whose arms comfort my bleeding heart,
She is called mother, a name that is ever bright,
She carved me in her heart like a craft,
She is the number one in the history of my life.
An aura surrounds her.
Seeing her eases anxiety
And the words of her mouth are enough
To thaw ice-like hearts.
The devil never rests,
Why will she rest?
Good or bad situations,
Her prayers will never cease.
She sees me as the greatest among my peers,
She nurtured me as an infant, and now she still cares,
I can't pay for the love she has shown,
But I will live to love her in thousand folds.
