A Perfect Mother,

Is a careful blend,

Of Wisdom and kindness

Confidant, true friend;

With well chosen words,

She brings comfort in stress,

To encourage the soul,

When life seems a mess;

She’s good to have around,

As she sings her heart-song,

Her loving touch of mercy,

Will right, any wrong;

A voice of authority,

Seasoned with endless love,

A Perfect Mother,

Straight from God, above;

In case you’re wondering,

Whom this, may be,

It’s you Dear Mother,

The Perfect Mother for me.
