Your Mother is always with you.

She is the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.

She is the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She is the cool hand on your brow when you are not feeling well.

She is your breath in the air on a cold winder's day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow,

She is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter,

She is the place you came from, your first home, and

She is the map you follow with every step you take.

She is your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy,

But nothing on earth can separate you

Not time, not space

Not even death.
