Her face is no longer smooth,
it is lined by time.
Even if she doesn't look the same,
she is still that dear mother of mine.
She has always given of herself to me,
nothing was I ever denied.
She laughed when I laughed,
she comforted me when I cried.
There is no one like her,
I don't think there will ever be.
No one means as much to me,
as she.
To me, it doesn't matter what she looks like,
I guess it is a matter of pride.
For the things that make her the most beautiful,
are the things she has inside.

very well done. sometimes
we can't imagine them growing
old, or having fun at 80.
and their still our mum's
whatever inside, my belated
mum came in centre once,her
make up on I stared I looked
how could I say she had dobbed
her face lipstick cheeks reminded
me of polka dots,she forgot to rub in rouge.
I love the last 4 lines.
To me it doesn't matter what she looks like
I guess it is a matter of pride
For the things that made her so beautiful
are the things she has inside.

A fine tribute; she would have felt better just reading it, I'd bet.
