Mother

You were so good to me as I was growing up,
the special days we had, I remember them all very well.

Your love kept me warm and secure, I could
always trust you with my most inner thoughts.

I wish it was possible to tell you how much you mean to me
and how much I love you just for being who you are.

I’m so lucky to have you for my mother, and hope I can be
as good to you as you have been to me.
Mother, I love you so much!
