Mom, You Are A Miracle Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

How do I find words for perfection?
If in words I do only say
what you do mean to me
but I do fall far short.

You are my friend.
Through many things
you did burrow your ear
to listen to my complaints
and joys.

Your presence
is like the morning sun
and leaves every day
a new joyous flower.

Mother, you do understand the heart of a person
and know when your children
do go through difficult times
and that this is passing,
as you do always trust
and do keep your faith strong in God the Father.

Mother, to me you are a miracle,
the lotion of my heart,
the comfort to all of my tears.

You do not have all of the answers
but help me to search for solutions
to find them
in the day to day occurrences
and in memories.

Mom it's your birthday
but you do not become older
as your spirit will always be young
and being a mother, a grandmother
and great-grandmother
has won you all of the medals
of our hearts

but mommy I do remind you
of our promise
to meet each other
at the feet of Jesus.

Do enjoy your birthday.
