Mother

The person I love so dearly
The one who takes good care of me,
Who makes sure I'm fine night and day
And thinks of me when I'm away.

Though she's without a life partner
'Cause father left us earlier;
She strives to give us shelter
Where she keeps us safe together.

Sometimes I see tears in her eyes,
As she looks up into the skies;
Over so many trials she grieves
Yet to the Lord she firmly cleaves.

Nothing can efface forever,
The memory of a mother,
Of all the gifts God gave to me,
The greatest of them all is she.

In my heart, specially I hold,
More precious than jewels of gold;
Mother... fountain of love untold,
My peerless treasure in this world!
