My mother
Is a unique mother.
She is shortish and has blonde hair,
“No need to straighten it,” she says
And she has a kind heart.
My mother
Is a generous mother.
She is intelligent with high processing skills
A quick thinker,
“To accomplish the task at hand,” she says.
My mother
Is an interesting mother.
She educates me and cares for me,
“Shoot for the moon,” she says.
She used to worry about life,
But put her faith in God,
And everything was alright.
