Ode To The Guiding Light

 In the garden of life where love takes root,

There blooms a flower, steadfast and true,

A mother's heart, a resolute pursuit,

To nurture, to cherish, to see us through.

On this special day,

I gather 'here, heart full of love,

To celebrate you, the finest on Earth,

Sent to me from the heavens above.

Oh, how you've weathered life's storms and strife,

With grace and courage, you've held the line,

A beacon of hope in the darkest night,

Your love, dear mother, eternally shines.

Your laughter, a melody, bright and clear,

Your wisdom, a lantern, guiding me way,

Through trials and tribulations, you steer,

With boundless love, come what may.

In your gentle embrace, I find solace,

A refuge from life's tempestuous sea,

With you as my anchor, my compass,

I find my true north, where I am meant to be.

 Your hands, they've shaped my world with care,

Your words, they've been a soothing balm,

You've shown me how to rise, how to bear,

Life's challenges with quiet aplomb.

The sacrifices you've made, often unseen,

The tears you've shed, in silence alone,

For me, you'd move mountains, as it seems,

Your love's depth, a treasure yet unknown.

Each day with you is a gift, a delight,

Your smile, a sunbeam, your embrace, a home,

In your presence, all worries take flight,

With you, dear mother, I have never felt alone.

As seasons pass, and years gently unfold,

Your love only deepens, never grows old,

A guiding light, steadfast and bold,

In the story of our lives, you're pure gold.

So, on this day, your birthday so sweet,

I gather 'round to sing and to say,

You're cherished, you're loved, in my heart you'll beat,

Forever and always, in every way.

Happy Mother's Day, my guiding star,

May your days be filled with love near and far,

In your embrace, I know who I am,

Forever and always, my guiding light, my North Star.
