To me, she’s the most beautiful girl in the world -- inside and out.  The poem rendered me speechless -- I think it will do the same to any Mom that reads it.

Beautiful

by JT

shining brown hair

bark brown eyes

filled with kindness

my wonderful mother is this

but 100 times better

her beauty

makes tulips smile

and birds cry out

with delight

she makes me cry

tears of joy

for she is so kind

and caring

she knows

if i feel down

and helps in the best ways

even if we sometimes

don’t get along

her love for me never stops

for she is not only beautiful on the outside

her beauty travels to the inside

too
