Mother
 
                   My Mother has given me so much
 
                   How can one ever repay such a debt?
 
 
                   I was given all the Beauty in the world.
 
                             And the eyes to see it with.
 
 
                         I was given the music of Nature
 
                 And the ears to listen for the perfect Harmony.
 
 
                             I was given the wild flowers
            
                And the nose for the fragrance of the divine Perfume.
 
 
                         I was given the taste of sweetness
 
                      And the tongue for the Wine of Life.
 
 
                               I was given tenderness
 
                     And the feeling for the divine Beloved.
 
 
                       I was given all the Love in the world
 
                             And the Heart to receive it.
 
 
                                        I was given life
                  
                        And the desire for the True Life.
