A

MOTHER

Mind if I remind you the past,
I know I have grown fast,
But the truth is,
You have been with me in all this.
Only you can understand,
The journey of one to nine months, and,
The grand day.
Pain is a cost you were willing to pay.
This very day I celebrate you,
There is none other like you.
For the sacrifices you have made,
My love for you will never fade.
Honesty, humility, obedience,
Kindness, self-control, patience,
Just to name some,
Have made me the person I’ve become.
Extraordinary a human,
A unique gift from no man.
To God be the glory,
For putting you into my life story.
Resplendent. Resilient. Rational,
Enlivening. Elating. Edifying,
Hortative. Hard-working. Hopeful,
Tolerant. Thoughtful. Thankful,
Optimistic. Open-minded. Outstanding,
Motherly. All the values you hold.
Mother.
