To my dear MOTHER

Your love is like that of the sky, the never-endingness;
You watch over me just as the sunlight beams into darkness;
You cleared what was rough to let my feet touch softness;
You! Oh sweetest Mother never cease to smile;
You carried me in your bosom when I was freezing cold; 
You stayed wide awake when the temperature flared up like fire;
You carried me near your own skin while working muddy paddy water;
You! Oh sweetest Mother never cease to care;
You sewed the left over blank papers for the child to write on;
You crochet into the night like a pro for me to wear;
You weave authentic patterns of royal folk priceless;
You! Oh Sweetest Mother never cease to guide;
You gather tons of woody wood to keep the fireplace warm;
You store food in summer and so in winter there is plenty to eat;
You walk miles to collect spring water up and down the rocky road;
You! Oh sweetest Mother never cease to smile;
You from whom Kings and rulers and all came;
You who never complain of the ache in your back;
You who keep giving never expecting anything in return;
You! Oh sweetest Mother deserve the highest Honor;
Your Prayers for your Children day and night are melodious;
Your resilience to keep moving despite the chaos is bravery;
Your attunement to everyone around is wonderworking;
You! Oh sweetest Mother deserve acknowledgement;
You give your best in all things that you do; 
Thus, this Mother’s Day we appreciate You;
Thank You a million trillion, even so it is never enough;
What you have done for each child will be a living legacy;
You! Oh sweetest Mother we commemorate this day;
Celebrating you in our lives for all you’ve done;
We glorify God for Blessing you into our lives;
May God bless you bountifully! Sweetest Mother;
You will always be our most precious Mother.  
Very happy and fulfilling MOTHER’S DAY MOM
