Mother
If I were lost on an island
Stranded all alone
I would not ask for food
Or even my phone
I would ask for my mother
Because she’s all I need.
My mother’s always there
When I cry or I bleed.
My mother is with me
Through thick and through thin,
She’s been my best friend,
She’s more than just kin.
Not only does she work
To provide me my meals,
She’s there when I’m down
With life at my heels.
She’s been my caretaker,
My most trusted friend.
She will stay there with me
Up until the end.
If I must choose one thing
That I truly do need,
I would ask for my mother-
For her only I’d plead.
