A Tribute To My Mother

You had brought me into this world when you were only twenty three years old you must of had the word "mine" in your thoughts when you named me "Mia" You had trained me from an infant on curbing the challenges of life no matter the size even after I have blossomed into a matured woman you never stopped training me I have always been your most safeguarded child because of my hidden birth defect unlike my teachers and many others who had failed me on a daily basis you could have aborted me, miscarried me forsaken me in the maternity ward or even born sleeping but you never gave up on me you were tenacious enough to overcome it I knew you have missed out on receiving legitimate parental support when you were growing up as a child but that did not precluded you from becoming a stern but encouraging mother to my sister and I The love and affection we may recieve from our friends, teachers and significant others would always blow hot and cold thoughout our lives but your love and care for us would never drop out of sight
