A mother’s care, a symphony of tears of joy,
her love is like music themes, soft and serene.
Through innumerable nights, she’s always there,
her presence is soothing, like a scented scene.
With gentle hands, she tends to every need.
A touch that assures comfort, soft and warmth.
Her wisdom is fecund, like a fertile seed,
nurturing her child, protecting from life’s worms.
Her sacrifices, innumerable and preen.
She gives her all, with a care so bold.
In her embrace, a lair evergreen,
a sanctuary where love unfolds.
Oh, motherhood of awesome divine.
A spirit so pure, enduring, and benign.
