A Mother’s Crown

Each day she rises with the sun,
Her quiet labors, never done.
A kiss for each, a gentle frown,
This is her love, her silent crown.

With hands that heal and eyes that know,
She guides them where they need to go.
In every scold, in every cheer,
Her heart's command, always clear.

Her reign within the household walls,
Where laughter sings and duty calls.
She wears her grace like royal gowns,
In simple deeds, her power abounds.

At night she rests, her cares laid down,
In dreams, she wears a golden crown.
Her love, a kingdom vast and deep,
Her children’s joy, hers to keep.
