My Mother Breeds My Life

Like the sands of time your strength is the foundation of my world

Your spirit is warm and does the flirtatious dance of rhythm like the waves of the Atlantic Ocean

Calling me, come ...soothing me... oou

My Mother

Like the nucleus of an atom you are the fire that makes this family glow

Your voice is the authority of care and concern keeping everyone afloat

Your presence in my heart give me the strength to swim in the roughest waters

You never get the credit you are due My Dearest Mother

You breed my life...

When your soul becomes weary the coral reef of the family starts to falter

Your love... it must prevail

I Love the woman you are true ...Mother

You breed my life...

And I will always need you

Like the time I was in your womb

With the waters of your body you protected me

Through and through

And when I was borne you built that wall of protective water

To expand as I grew

Covering me and my new wave of a family

You breed my life

And I love you

Your sweet love and protection covers me like the armor of God covers those of us who proudly wear it

You face the unknown then you smile and bear it

You breed my life... and I know

I am blessed, but I am not alone

Everyone who has a chance encounter with you in their life

Feels that same blessing of water and love Mother you set the tone

No while we all got some pieces of you within

We could never flow like the waters of your love

Mother...You breed my life             

And I love you
