She is the one who gave me birth
She is the one who protects me on earth
She is the one who spreads joy and mirth
And shows to the world my value and worth
God show your compassion and blessings forever
On my beloved mother who always endeavor
Troubles and pain whatever and whenever
To raise me with tenderness and warmth's cover
She is the one who brightens my day
She is the one who strengthens my way
She is the one who always keep at bay
Agony and clouds of doubt to ruin my day
God she is a ray of sparkling sunlight
Whose beams spread very far and bright
Who has a gentle soul and a heart of gold alright
From which grace, virtue and kindness alight
She is the one who has always spent
Her love and time to straighten my path bent
And reconnects my past with her present
To make life worthwhile and always pleasant
God keep her safe and shower on her love
Open your wide doors of Heaven above
And give her peace so she can smile like a dove
For she deserves benevolence of your care and love.
**** written for my beloved mother who is suffering from Alzheimer***
Love you Ma, may God be with you today and forever
