An Ode to my Mother

My mother is my parent,

     My friend and my hero.

The good qualities in her

     I think you should know.



My mother knows well that

     Nothing good ever lasts.

But she looks to the future,

     Not to the past.



She never lets go

     But always holds on.

And I know that in her heart

     I will always belong.



She does her very best

     To keep her family together.

Her love never ends

     But goes on forever.



I hope that I can be

     Just like her one day.

But I know that that time

     Is still far away.
