Happy Mommy day~

Here’s to a mother who wanted a doctor but had a writer; but loved him too much not to complain otherwise. Happy mothers day, I love you mom and always will regardless of our hard times because we've had so much more good ones.

I've written a little poem for my mom.
----------------------------------------------

You nurtured me when I was little
You taught me my first words.
You gave me warmth when I was cold
You gave me coolness when I was hot
You sang to me when I was unease in my slumber.
You wiped away those darn tears of mine.

You let me go on my own
Yet you kept the leash close.
You wanted to meet my sweethearts to push them away (chuckle)
But that’s ok, I didn’t mind.
You only wanted the best for me.

I’ve grown into someone
It may not have been what you wanted
But you love me enough to not care.
For I love you in the same way.

We may have had our hard times
But there are so many good times.
When dad wasn’t there, you made things better.
When he was there, you made things a lot better (chuckle) / (sob).

You’ve watched me grow into someone.
Now its time for me to repay you.
With words like these, I may look cheap.
But it’s not the price of the gift;
It’s the effort and kindness that counts.
It’s the soul that conveys the letters that matters.

And nothing can mean more than these three simple words.
“I love you.”

Happy Mothers day.
