My Other Mother

I believe in miracles
and I was granted one,
A special gift came to me
far brighter than the sun.
 
 

Mama, YOU are the sunshine
that brightens my day,
When I need a mother
you know what to say.

You are a treasure 
more precious than gold,
Through all the heartache
it's YOU who consoles.
 
 

I feel like your daughter
I loved you from the start,
For you are the Mother
born in my heart.
