I look in the mirror and I see a reflection, <br />Of a smiley black face because you showed me affection, <br />You’re a winner in my eyes but never ask for any attention, <br />My heart smiles for you; you give me a sense of direction <br /> <br />I remember as a child all the love that surrounded me, <br />All the times my health was on a low and you cared for me, <br />I kneel and say a prayer so no harm comes your way, <br />I smile from the heart, knowing you are my mother, every day <br /> <br />Never phased by the troubles that the world brings your way, <br />The strongest person walking this crooked earth today, <br />A perfect being in my eyes, so modest and so free, <br />I smile from my heart, for your love is always with me <br /> <br />Fearless like a warrior queen from the heavens, <br />Never unsure about your morals, always certain, <br />I dare not choose wrong from right, you taught me better, <br />Your smile so warm, like a knitted sweater <br /> <br />You’re unique in your ways like sunshine in the rain, <br />You’re special in your being, like an angel’s diamond chain, <br />When I was down, seeing you would lift my spirits to the sky, <br />And my heart would break a smile, and my eyes would soon be dry <br /> <br />I love you with all my heart and would walk the world for you, <br />I don’t say it enough but I swear anything you ask I would do, <br />You loved me before you met me you’re a star in my eyes, <br />In my heart I smile, for you’re my heavenly prize <br /> <br />No award is special enough for the things that you have done, <br />No words in all the languages for how I feel about being your son, <br />Anybody should be thankful just to be in your presence I swear, <br />I smile from my heart, you are my world my dear. <br /> <br />I love you mum! <br /> <br /> <br /> By Jimmy Manganda<br /><br />jimmy manganda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smiles-from-a-heart/
