Your Mother is always with you.

Shes the whisper of leaves as you walk down the street.

Shes the smell of certain foods you remember,

flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

Shes the cool hand on your brow when youre not feeling well.

Shes your breath in the air on a cool winters day.

She is the sound of rain that lulls you to sleep,
the color of a rainbow;

She is Christmas morning.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter.

She is the place you came from, your first home,

and she is the map you follow, every step you take.

She is your first love, your friend, even your first enemy,

but nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space
not even death.
