                  WHAT IS A MOTHER

A Mother is someone who understands

And someone you can trust.

She will listen to you night and day when

Don't have much to say.

A Mother will stand with you are right and correct

And when you are wrong.

She will hold you up when you are weak

And pray with you to make you strong. 

A Mother's love is unconditioned and unique

In every way.

You showed me love

Like a Mother should.

Today I say goodbye Mom.

Thank you for loving Me.

I will love you and will miss you dearly.
