Your love sees no barrier

As age takes toll

And i compare you to no other woman

for you are still the most beautiful of all.

Values of life you taught

still speak volumes

of your nuture to us all

to be the best we can be

Even in life's troubled seas.

Your eyes have grown weary

from being ever watchful on us

Your hands wrinkled from the daily tasks you bore

Your legs weak for walking the long road

And most of all, your knees bruised

from bending down in prayer 

to dedicate our lives to the Lord.

Mum, I live to this day 

forever thankful for who you are

because all in all

You are the best by far.
