I look into your eyes and see

All that I strive to be

The epitome of elegance and grace

Symbolic of the strength I need to run this daily race

The sweet voice of reason

Whose love encompasses throughout any season

As I stand facing the mirror

The image I see is you

And nothing in this world could be any dearer

In my heart and soul reigns true

You are the source of my being

In your stilettos I follow

Standing firm and never fleeing

From your mouth your words I devour

For nourishment and to allow me to grow

In your wisdom and knowledge I found power

So for all our earthly days, my true love I will show

You are my mother

God’s precious gift and like no other

So from my heart I say to you

For all the trouble

The tears I’ve made you cry

The nights without sleep

When you pondered the question why

And the promises I did not keep

Please accept from my sincere heart

A forgiving plea

To reseal the bond and never part

The unconditional love I have for thee

Mother, oh mother

As I stand facing the mirror

The image I see is you

And nothing in this world could be any dearer

In my heart and soul reigns true

How greatly blessed I am to have you.

This stirred up a lot of intense emotions in me. I thank you for this wonderful work of art.

"From your mouth your words I devour

For nourishment and to allow me to grow

In your wisdom and knowledge I found power" 

These three lines truly resonated with me. Excellent work!

Thanks Joy Valerius! Yes she single handed raised her 3 girls, a neice and a cousin. She sacrificed much for us.
