Oh sweet mother afford me your solace
what seems difficult in these trying times
now bearable, as thoughts of you
renew my determination
Show me with your soft wisdom
how best to accept fate
By your heart you have taught me
compassion along with love
that knows no bounds
Often when my thoughts are of love
I remember you
How you would spend the entire afternoon
just holding me
Showering me with motherly affection
encouraging me to dream
These memories bring with it a smile
and pleasant reflections
For how could I now be where I am
if not for your sublte guidng along the way...
