My silent strength
All beauty and grace
Poised behind the scenes, obscuring your presence
Content to catch glimpses of my cheerful face
You care for me through weather’s whims
Standing by through my thick and thin
You warmly embrace and shower love
So soft and gentle and infinitely kind
My inseparable shadow you have become
I’ll tell you how
You are now
My every breath under the Sun
Notice when the rays shine bright
That silhouette of mine means you are near
In sight
So if there is light in my life
When the shadow forms
You are the cheer
The Sun’s soft shades of warm
You are not the booming loud voice
The bold surge of passion that throbs
but only now and then
No, you are the constant rhythmic magnificent stream
that courses through every sinew of my veins
You are the reason I live
The reason I was born
You are my mother
My beautiful wonderful mother
My past, my present, my future
My always and everything beyond
