Tribute

My spirits soared high, yet I trembled like a leaf
No sermons, no lectures summoned enough relief
The news was good - I had passed my test
You packed my bags and I bid farewell

I sailed through the years and cut through the crowd
Earned my degree and made you proud
You stayed all alone but never frowned
Your letters made me feel you were always around

You poured your love as you wrote on the paper
I sipped as I read what you had to offer
My thirst is quenched, I seek no more
You’ve made me priceless MAMA, with your touch of Gold!
