To My Mother

I am hers the way I'm sure A daughter, the eldest of five [???] what your life [?] You know you're reaching to a change [?] with that golden state [Natural love of us three boys Your husband painted?] Was becoming a masterpiece With a steady hand And a tender touch A colourful mind A creative heart You began painting my favourite pink [?] In the [?] landscape [Your life?] is artistic [?] set it out You got [?] Only the surface A picture is worth a thousand words Here are a few of yours: Selfless Joyful Gracious More beautiful We share brown eyes And on the outside you gave me my smile And my music mind You pray every morning Grow every day [?] to evening You'd rather paint the town than sleep Unlike Dorian Gray, mother, you age with grace Every day you somehow grow into more of a masterpiece With a steady hand And a tender touch A colourful mind A creative heart You're the heartbeat of this family In a dark world you shine mother [?] Now I'm just trying to find a girl Half of who you are Every day I admire you baby I'm so thankful God gave you to me Though this world could make it look like what your heart imagined it should be [?] neverending Your beauty's so inspiring When God takes you home All I want is your unfinished painting
