She

She breathed life into me and gave me a chance to live.

She smiled at me whenever I cried,

And sang sweet lullabies.

I learned to walk holding her hand

And she let me go so I could learn to be my own.

She never was selfish,

But took pride in everything I did .

She made sure I had everything that I needed,

Though I never told her that I needed them.

She taught me the joy of living with the family,

And patience which is incomparable to anything.

I never really understood her love when I was with her,

When she didn’t seemed to be doing anything my way.

But it was the tears in her eyes that made me realize so many things.

Yet she loved me so much with all her heart.

She hides her pain just to make us feel comfortable,

And always wishes the best for me in my life.

She is just a call away though we are miles apart,

And I can tell her all my dreams and schemes.

She always wishes that I grow up to be a fine lady,

And live a better life than she ever did,..

If I am the woman I am today its because of her..

And I am proud to say that I call her,

My MOM….
