Sunlit Moments
Morning breaks, sun touches the leaves,
Mother's coffee brews, quiet achiever.
Her smile, a soft light,
Gently lifting the day’s veil.
Her wisdom, like the river, flows,
Words smooth, a comforting echo.
Gardens of advice bloom,
Patiently sown, lovingly nurtured.
On this Mother's Day, the sun is bright,
Her laughter, the breeze that dances.

Strung on the thread of hours.
In her presence, life simplifies,
A sanctuary built from her ways.
Her love, a shield from storms,
Our bond, a timeless embrace.
