Mother
A mother is not a mother but more like a best friend
a woman who spoils you
but not in a materialistic way
she still does your laundry
and cooks your dinner separately
when she understands your desire to live healthily
a mother trusts you
and only questions your motives
simply because she’s interested in knowing
how you will accomplish your new task at hand-
whatever that may entail
a mother provides support whether she agrees with you or not
so cheerful, spirited, and young at heart
a mother-
this mother
is the love of my life
D’ Hierro Madre de hierro solo Dios sabe todo lo que te quiero Madre eres tú mi fortaleza
