January 5th

From this world to the next

From home to heaven’s gates

Word is spoken of your love

By cherubs and by saints

They all look down on envy

Of this bond that cannot break

Between a mother and her children

As strong a bond can make

A mother’s love is something

That no one can explain

It’s built by deep devotion

Bound by sacrifice and pain

It flows endless and unselfish

Like nothing else on earth

No shiny metals or paper money

Could amount to all it’s worth

It is patient and forgiving

But will never cease to teach

Guiding you toward happiness

Like sunsets on a beach

You’ve granted us life

And best friends we call brothers

You are a gift from god

An angel

And such a loving mother
