My mother is a brightly ribboned maypole -- My mother is a crescent moon -- My mother holds me like Mary holds Jesus -- My mother flies with Superwoman -- My mother is an orange hibiscus in a brown coffee cup -- My mother is a silver-wrapped piece of Wriggley's Spearmint chewing gum -- My mother is an Easter Bunny in a white confectioner's egg -- My mother is a chrysanthemum firework exploding in the sky -- My mother is a bottle of extra virgin olive oil -- My mother is a driftwood ballerina -- My mother is a star navigator -- My mother is the Sugar Plum Fairy
