I wish I were your best gift

Flowers may wilt and chocolates may dwindle,
But my love for you, Mum, it’s forever in kindle.
Fine china may crack, and candles burn low,
But the flame in my heart for you, brightly will glow.

I wish I were wrapped in a beautiful bow,
The best Mother’s Day gift, the one you don’t know.
A gift that’s not bought, but a feeling so deep,
A love that’s unspoken, but cradled in sleep.

For you are my sunshine, that chases away rain,
My guiding star, lighting life’s winding lane.
Your strength is my anchor, your wisdom my guide,
In your arms, a safe haven, where troubles subside.

So forget fancy trinkets, the ribbons and frills,
The greatest of treasures, my love always spills.
For you, dear Mum, are a gift beyond compare,
And all that I am, I wouldn’t be there.

Without your fierce love, and your nurturing hand,
The best gift of all, in this vast, wondrous land.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mum, with a heart full of glee,
I wish I were your best gift, but you’re already to me.
