  • My Mom is a cozy place
    Like a warm cup of cocoa
    Or a pillow trimmed with lace
    My Mom’s love is all mine
    I can always depend
    She’s more than a mom
    She’s my best friend

  • Burning sands, ever shifting. Desert of life I must pass through. When I sink, two hands are lifting. Helping me to start anew. She’s the oasis where I may rest. She, who always knows me best. Diamond in the rough.
