I'd pick you the stars <br />if I could reach up, <br />But the light of your kindness, <br />would make them seem dark... <br /> <br />I'd give you the oceans, <br />the rivers, the seas. <br />But before all of your love <br />how small would they seem? <br /> <br />And I'd give you diamonds <br />for tears that you've shed. <br />But mountains of treasure <br />you know I don't have... <br /> <br />Or flowers I'd pick you, <br />the fairest of May. <br />But your beauty, Mother, <br />Won't wither away... <br /> <br />So all I can give you, <br />could it be enough? <br />I'll lay down at your feet <br />my care and my love...<br /><br />Amanda Larsen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-162/
