Mama I Love You To No End

I know I pushed your buttons more than I can count I know I have given you extra silver strands though I like it on you (wink) I know I have caused you some sleepless nights and ruined your appetites I know I have given you the silent treatment because it’s easier for me I know I have caused your tears to escape from their hidden ponds I know every time I caused you pain my heart is in a dark place Mama I can not undo my mistakes and failures Although if I was to be permitted a chance to go back in time and correct them And if I could unzip my heart to show you How much it breaks me deeply than words could ever express How much I love you more than words can say How grateful I am to be your daughter How much I need you more than anyone No questions ask I would full heartedly happily do it in a flash You’re such a sweet and loving mother You let nothing to spoil your golden heart regardless of the hurtful things I have caused you You kiss away all my misery You continue to enchant me You’re always on stand ready for when I need you You love me unconditionally You make my heart smile Mama Thank you forever I love you to end Akkina 9/13/23 This poem was inspired by Silent One’s most beautiful tribute to his mother… My respect to the moms universally for their unconditional love for their children.

So beautiful..heartfelt and loving dear Akkina. There is nothing like a Mother’s unconditional love. I love my Mom more than words can say and I love being a Mom to my son and daughter. It’s a blessing every day. Hugs to you, Susan :)

Wow! What a beautiful dedication to your mother, Akkina! When we're young we tend to do naughty things, but not with the aim of hurting anyone. No one expects you to undo those mistakes, as long as you leant from them. ~ Warm regards, my friend // paul

This is so sweet and heartfelt and so beautiful. This kind of reminds me also of a song. So touching and lyrical with so much depth. Mothers are precious, and to have and receive love from them is a blessing too and one that should be cherished. Your love for your mom is so very evident here. Bless your beautiful soul. A fave from me

I can’t say it’s true being I have not met anyone who doesn’t love their children. But I have heard of such gruesome news… Thank you always, Tommy. :)
