-mother-

One Word #12 Word: Mother Mother, noun, A woman in relation to her child or children She’s always on her feet, making sure that I have what I need. Whenever I need a person to speak to, she is always there, and she responds. Even if it brought her to her knees, that woman would bring her children the sun. Though she’s had enough, she always smiles, because she knows what true pain feels like. Even through moments that would bring any human to their knees, she still finds a way through. I’m envious, for I know I could never do what she does. Just for us, she hides how she feels, though she knows it hurts the most. This human, who has walked for so long without a break, is still walking towards the future. Others would call this a miracle, but it’s simply the result of hard work. This woman, who defies the fairy tales, for she never needed a knight in shining armour to carry her. Nothing I do will be enough to repay my mother, for she has already done so much.
