A mother is a shelter
To protect you from the ills of the world
She will keep you dry from the storms

 A mother is a peach
Sweet as nectar and so tender
She will give you nurturing, unconditional love

 A mother is a fount
Full of knowledge and bright wisdom
She will guide you through life's canyons

 A mother is a pearl
Always glimmering with patient grace
She will shine on you throughout the years
