Within my heart,
My mother is dear,
When she held me in her arms,
I always felt secure.
In times of sadness,
Or times of pain,
She comforted me,
As my tears fell like rain.
A shield to the outside world,
Never a safer place,
At the times I felt weakest,
She was there as a brace.
This feeling I’ll remember,
No matter how old,
A warm embrace from someone so close,
Is more valuable than gold.
