Mother  

Innocence personified
In your beautiful face
Compassion reflected
In those white watery eyes
Care pouring
From all-giving hands
Laughter revealed
In those sparkling white teeth
You
Who had fed
Those precious morsels
To us children
In the days of want;
A perfect example
Of selfless love
Endless patience
During those long suffering days
I bow
At you lotus feet
For all those gifts—
Those long embraces, hugs and kisses
From eternity
To all eternity.
