I didn't want to write today!

I didn't want to write something

on Mother's Day,

For fear that the world

will judge me and say,

That my words are

cliché and trite,

And that my sentiments

lack insight.

But how can I not

honor the one,

Who raised me and,

taught me to run.

Who wiped away tears,

and kissed away the pain.

And showed me

again and again! :)

I didn't want to write something

on Mother's Day,

For fear that my words

won't convey...

The depth of gratitude?

I feel for all the sacrifices

that was real.

I know it was tough for you,

To be a full-time parent

along with your full-time job,

I can't imagine how you managed it all

But somehow,

you never let us fall.

I don't want to write something

on Mother's Day,

But I want to admit,

I wasn't an easy child to raise,

I tested your patience in countless ways

But you never gave up,

never backed down,

And always wore a smile,

never a frown.

I didn't want to write something

on Mother's Day,

But can’t resist appreciating you,

For all the work you did

to give us everything

And your love,

it was a never-ending spring

You taught us to be kind,

to be strong,

And to always know

where we belong.

And so on this Mother's Day,

I don't want to write more,

But, I want to say that

I love you more than words can convey

And that whatever I am today,

I owe it to you,

For you always believed in me,

and saw me through.

Thank you, Mom,

for all that you've done,

For being my rock, my shelter,

and my shining sun!

Yes you, my Mother… my shining Sun! :)
