What Makes a Mother
Unconditional love so pure and bright,
Support without expecting light,
Her love is constant, never tethered,
This makes her a mother.
Nurturing nature, tender care,
Physical, emotional, always there,
Her hands and heart, a soothing cover,
This makes her a mother.
Sacrifice in every choice,
Her children's needs, her inner voice,
Putting them first, she does not smother,
This makes her a mother.
Guidance in life's winding ways,
Teaching values through all days,
Her wisdom shared, like no other,
This makes her a mother.
Protection strong, a steadfast shield,
From harm's way, her love revealed,
A safe embrace, none can bother,
This makes her a mother.
Patience vast, through storm and sun,
Understanding, never done,
In trials, she won't uncouple,
This makes her a mother.
Support unwavering, dreams she feeds,
Encouraging through words and deeds,
Her faith in us, a steady buffer,
This makes her a mother.
Empathy deep, compassion flows,
Understanding all our woes,
Her heart in tune with one another,
This makes her a mother.
Role model strong, with grace she leads,
Kindness shown through all her deeds,
Her strength, a path for us to cover,
This makes her a mother.
Consistency in love and rule,
Stable ground, no shifting pool,
Her care is constant, like no other,
This makes her a mother.
Strength in adversity, calm in strife,
Managing crises, guiding life,
Her courage firm, we do discover,
This makes her a mother.
Long-term goals she plans with care,
For family’s future, always there,
A path to success, she’ll uncover,
This makes her a mother.
She protests wrongs, stands firm and true,
Defends what's right in all she’ll do,
Her voice is just, it won't be smothered,
This makes her a mother.
Loyalty strong, in love and vow,
Beside her partner, through each row,
Her faithfulness like no other,
This makes her a mother.
