Mother

The one person, dear to me,
Who’s closest to my heart.
The one person who’s been with me,
From the very start.

She adores my company,
And I adore hers back.
We love each other dearly,
And I know that for a fact.

She has such compassion,
I just cannot explain.
She has taught me how to love,
And how to endure pain.

Even when I was little,
She would comfort me.
Tell me bedtime stories,
With castles by the sea.

I think you’ve guessed who she could be,
Someone so devoting could only be.
She’s my loving Mother,
And we love each other dearly.

I wrote this for Mothers Day when I was in 7th grade.
