To My Mother

My dearest mother, don't you cry,
we'll find a way to make you fly.
We'll mend your wings with heart felt words,
you will fly higher than the birds.

Let rain from heaven wash your tears,
let sunlight fight away your fears.
I'm there in every star you see,
I'll be there as you were for me.

Now take each step and day with light
until you spread your wings in flight.
My mother, you are dear to me,
the mother I would hope to be.
