My Mother

She gave me life,

The best in my eyes,

She helped me read,

And instilled in me her creed,

She cooked for me,

So filled I could be,

She wiped my tears,

And took away my fears,

She is kind,

My dreams she helped find,

She gives me hugs,

But refused to get me pugs,

Another mother I would never have chosen,

Into my life She is woven,

She gives me love,

So, I fly like a dove.
