Ode to my Mother

A strong foundation, a delicate rose A stunning wonder no one can oppose. My mother is the true definition Of a sweet angel, of abnegation.

A caring woman with a heart of gold, She protects me from the rain and the cold. I know she would face any dreadful storm Fiercely, only to keep me safe and warm.

She has the power to dissolve my pain With a simple touch, she can end its reign. She makes me laugh when I feel like crying, And gives me the courage to keep trying.

Her advice to me has always been wise When I feel down, she lifts me to the skies And when arrogance clouds my little mind She keeps me grounded, still loving and kind.

She illuminates my life like the sun, A perfect mix of serious and fun. And even when she has no time to spare She always saves me a moment to share.

She raised me to be who I am today, And no one could ever take that away. Oh, what a great honor it is to be The heir to her beautiful legacy!
