A mother is a first friend
you never have to earn,
From tummy kicks and childhood trips
to pirouettes and turns.
A mother is a lasting reminder
of who you were and who you are,
She’s there to help you with the journey
on your way to catch the stars.
A mother puts herself just behind your light
and cheers for you on your way,
She holds onto all the fleeting minutes
and knows they cannot stay.
A mother becomes our everything,
a tree that grounds and gives us breath.
A love that we treasure,
that lasts far beyond death.
A mother is a first friend
who scatters memories on our hearts,
And covers us in her presence
so we can never be apart.
And on Mother’s Day when your heart aches
to see her once again,
Remind yourself she is right there,
where she’s always been.
Some things in life are strong enough
to withstand the worst of weather,
A mother’s love, it finds a way,
it holds onto us forever.
A mother is a first friend
you never have to earn,
From tummy kicks and childhood trips
to pirouettes and turns.
