Dear Mom

You gave me life without any despair
You taught me to walk with  full prepare

And when I tumbled you boosted me up
You held my hand and made me get up

You never said no for the things I asked
But always raised me up with royal class

You hid your tears when you were in pain
As you knew that love was the main aim

You coveted to give all that you could
But at times no one really understood

You even chiseled to make me smile
By giving all that you had every time

And with time passing by like the falling rain
You never stopped but helped me to gain

You are a symbol of power that’s called love
You are our mother that God send from above

And as I write these words I smile with tears
Cause I am become just like you over these years

And on this day I raise my hand mother
Only to Salute you as I firmly stand soother

I wish you a Happy Mother’s Day
With words from the heart in a very special way

Thank you Mother for this beautiful life
For today and in each and every way
