Ode to a Mother
by Polina Moys
A mom is kind and elegant,
I think we all agree.
The word itself is beautiful,
The sweetest melody.
A mom is wise and graceful,
We love her very much.
She knows what to say and do
And adds her gentle touch.
Her ways are soothing and serene,
They chase the tears away.
Her smile is like a ray of sun
That always makes my day.
A mom’s immensely happy
When we succeed in life.
If hard times hit, she comforts, heals,
And helps us through the strife.
On Mother’s Day we honor
All moms who are God-sent.
Their love is true and loyal
And shines without end.
