The world may stir with the light of the sun.
I couldn’t care less, for her voice wakes me up at dawn.

The water in rivers may cleanse our souls.
I couldn’t care less, for every day, she gives me clean clothes.

The trees may work hard to yield fruit.
I couldn’t care less, for when I feel hungry, she cooks food.

The sky may be dark, stormy, and scary.
I couldn’t care less, for I sleep listening to her lullabies.

The breeze that blows may be life-giving.
I couldn’t care less, for she taught me the skills for the living.

The mountain may be rocky and tall.
I couldn’t care less, for she gave me the strength to rise after each fall.

The diamond may have a bright glow.
I couldn’t care less, for she makes me feel more valued and loved.

No, she doesn’t mean the sun, river, tree, sky, breeze, mountain, or diamond to me.

For the sun sets, the river dries up,
The tree withers, the sky darkens,
The breeze stalls, the mountain falls,
And, the diamond also turns to dust.

But yes, she’s my mother, a superwoman everyday…forever.
