(Inspired by Kee Thampi) br br br I’ll always remember Mother - br she was tender as could be. br And yet with great fortitude, br she stood like a tree. br br She was anchored in hope br and firm in her love. br And with a steadfast faith, br she looked above. br br Her legacy to her children br is the 'example' of her life: br She was a mother and friend. br And she was a loving wife. br br Her strength (an asset) br was a shining light, thus, br a very important lesson br Imparted unto us. br br br *Note: thank you Kee Thampi for suggesting that I write a 'personal' poem about my mother, like you wrote about your 'mum.
