A Mother

I know a mother

Who would die for me,

In this world there is no other

Who would do as much as she.

You’re hurt

And she’ll know,

You’re scared

And she’ll know.

She knows how to comfort

Only her presence’s enough.

Her hand’s always warm

And her skin always welcoming,

When you get harmed

Her embrace always healing.

She’ll hold your hand

Even though you can do it alone

You can’t say no

And what you know she knows.

There is no other

Better than a mother,

A love that is sacrificing

A love that is always deepening.
