To my mother (spiritual version)

I wrote this poem for my mom to give her today on mothers day. I changed the last line for her version though so that it was more about her and less about God (is that even possible?). I liked the original version though because it seemed a bit cryptic. Definitely cup material. What do yall think? I just really want to know....do you understand it?

Mother means much more to me
Than just the one word can convey
It was you who helped me see
Because of you I learned to pray
Now as a man I believe
Gods love revealed to me each day
Through all your kindness Christ remains

As a child it was not clear
If we were ever truly free
Taught to me by many seers
Your mother holds your destiny
In her all God’s truth appears
His plan for us so plain to see
Without you there was never me

That reminds me of today
The reason why we all are here
I lack the words I need to say
In my heart you are still most dear
It will always be that way
Where I am you are always near
That is why Jesus did not fear
