Mom

You held me in your arms for the first time, Warm tears were rolling down on your white cheeks, And for the first time, I felt the love's delight, I understood that this is how love speaks. Drops of happiness betrayed your infinite excitement, Our two hearts as one then began to beat, entering in a new stage of love's enlightenment, Your smile was angelic, and your breath so sweet. So many sick days you watched over me, Whispering with love, “You’ll be fine!” So many late nights spent on your knee, You taught me love's reason to shine. You were there with me when I took the first step, You taught me when to move and when to stand still, When to leave my worries on the doorstep, You have inspired me with your power and your will. You gave me comfort in pain and sorrow, You were always by my side, You taught me what's tomorrow, You taught me how to read and how to write. You walked with me on my first day of school, The first book that we read together, it’s now long past, You taught me that to be myself is cool, To live each day as the first one or maybe as the last. With love and tender, you corrected all of my mistakes, I still remember how you told me; You are the best! No matter how much hurts or what it takes, You always have to live the truth and stand the test. You taught me to say what I think and what I feel, Without any fear, always watching the sky, To dream but also to know what is real, To be powerful when I'm down and modest when I'm up high. You taught me to comfort others with my love, And to spread the Light, all around me, You told me that I am a child of God's above, You taught me to believe in Eternity! So many precious things you planted in my heart, You gave me life and taught me how to live it too, You're up in Heaven, but we'll never be apart, Today, tomorrow, always Mother, I Love You.
