POEM: A TRUE FRIEND (IN HONOR OF MOTHER'S DAY)

A TRUE FRIEND
By Sister Siebra Muhammad

Nothing so beautiful and caring as she
The one who brought me to this World
and in the light of day or night
Her smile shines on my heart

So sweet with so much love
Nothing as radiant as she
Her love so priceless
Her care so gracious

So grateful I am
To have been brought by she
To see this World
And carry her heart in mine

Her face
Her eyes
Light in mine
Her soul and name engraved
In my hands and feet
Her smile I tend to reflect
Her beauty is a wonder.

How priceless
Is her love for me
I see it everyday
The sacrifices she has made for me

Blesses me in every way
Every stitch of my being
Is perfected with a simple kiss on my cheek
That tells wonders of the love
She has had for me

Since the day she held me
Till the day I die
My heart carries her love
Her care and concern
That will never die

I know her so well
I know her heart and feelings
She knows my first breath
My first cry to this World

So priceless is my mother
So wonderful is she
Of all the people in this World
You always mean them most to me

And I cry when I can't help you
Inside my heart bleeds
When I can't save you
From your unhappiness

Or solve those certain things
And when I see you happy
I'm elated as can be
And my heart aches the most

When I think of when I may have hurt you
Making you unhappy with something I do
So much anger and sadness
I may have caused you

When I did something wrong
You always forgive me
And I pray at night
That you will be happy

Your dreams come true
Your sadness ridden
And that someday
I will be strong and bold as you

With a heart so caring
And a smile so enchanting
My love for you is infinite
I cannot even describe

If anything ever happened
I probably would die
If I left this World
Or made you cry

I hope you know
How much you mean to me
For your happiness
I could do anything
Because nothing is as pure

As your love for me
And my love for you
Your love for me is priceless
And always so true

I love you Mother
And nothing can change how I feel
Always and forever
I shall be your little girl
