A Jewel of A Mother
Mother, you are a precious Pearl you see
Nine months of love and then came me
Through sleepless nights you were there to provide
A blanket of love whenever I cried
Mother, you are a rare Diamond of life
Your years of endurance will never suffice
And as I grew, your strength guided me through
The life I now live, is because of you
Mother, you are an Emerald to me
Nothing is more beautiful in life than thee
Transparent to feelings and full of love
I wish I could give you a star from above
Mother, you are a Ruby at heart
If we are not together, we are never apart
Our hearts were joined when my life began
So my love for you will never end
