Original Submission by Amreeta Roop Kaur Despande

QUEEN OF MY HEART

My strength when I'm weak

My cure when I'm sick

My guide when I'm lost

My answer to all doubts

My shadow when I'm alone

A superhero, I can call my own

My joy and laughter on good days

My companion on darker days

My comfort when I'm in tears

My shelter when I'm in fear

The one who's gotten me through all these years

She's a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher, a wife and lover

But above all she's the one, I call Mother.
