She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street
She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick
The fragrance of life itself.
She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well
She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day
She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep
The colors of a rainbow.
She is Christmas morning.
Your mother lives inside your laughter
She’s the place you come from, your first home
She’s the map you follow with every step you take.
She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy
But nothing on earth can separate you
Not time
Not space
Not even death.
