A mother's love is endless as the air,
She's always there, and always fair.



A mother's kindness is ever present,
Even when her attention always isn't.



A mother's comfort is ever so warm,
Just like the sun on a summer morn.



A mother's strength is unstoppable,
Like when she picks you up when you topple!



A mother's patience is undying,
How many times did those shoes need tying?



A mother's voice is always reassuring,
She's invariably around when you need cheering.



A mother's wisdom is ever true,
Though sometimes you didn't follow through!



A mother's expectations are so high,
She knows her children can reach the sky!



A mother's tears are from the heart,
She sheds them for you when you're apart.



A mother's advice is sometimes hard to take,
She would prefer to be the one to make the mistake.



A mother's arms are open wide,
For warm hugs and help those tears be dried!



A mother's heart is of pure gold,
That beats a song till she's very old.



A mother's faith is ever strong,
Her convictions to God are never wrong!



Yes, a mother is all these things and more,
She's always loving, forgiving, and never a bore!
She's there to depend on every day,
And do what's needed in every way!
