Bond between mother and son

THE EDITOR: The bond between a mother and a son,
An existing bond that is second to none,
A bond that exists in its own special way,
Only growing stronger day after day.

Bonding from the day of my remarkable birth,
Convincing me that you are indeed the best mother on earth.
Showering me with all your care, attention and love,
A blessing you are from the Father above.

You taught me everything I needed to know,
Guiding me, showing me the path to follow.
Using your hands, molding my mind, body and soul,
Helping me plan towards achieving my ultimate goal.

God alone knows how much we have been through,
Blessing me to share this bond with a mother like you
Mother, how much I appreciate sharing this tie,
That gradually strengthens as times goes by.
