The greatest treasure in the world
is not found beneath the earth
Its bounty has been with me all my life
from the very moment of my birth
When opened, there is no gold or silver
and it isn't hard to find
It comes with unconditional love
and gives me a piece of mind
When times are tough and I get down
it's the treasure I was given
That gently smiles and always says
I love you and you're forgiven
I wonder how she always knew
what I was feeling everyday
And when she held me in her arms
knowing just the right words to say
Yes, the greatest treasure in the world
could only come from God above
It is the tender, gentle heart
that is my mother's love

Hi people!! I didn't write this poem (Obviously I'm not that professional lol) but I really love it and it touches me everytime I read it. Since today is Mother's Day, I thought I'd share this beautiful piece with y'all. Tell me what you all think of it :)
