I especially like how the entire poem spare three words is all in speech. I feel like it breaks up the poem a bit, but in a good way, much like throwing in a short line among a stanza of long lines to avoid repetition and a dry poem. The strange thing is, it didn't even click with me that it began in speech. I just passed right over that first quotation mark. That tells me that you blended stanza 2 line 1 very well with the rest of the poem.

Is she the same person
Who can quickly heal my frown?"
"Yes," said the Father,
"She is special unto you.
She will help you up when you fall
And see you through and through.
"'Mother' is her name;
A matronly figure she stands,
With two little ones, close by her side,
Who will always be her fans."
Happy Mother's Day 2007
