Mother

My mother... She stands tall 
and holds her ground. With a 
smile of a million dreams. I love 
when you are happy. Even when 
you are feeling down. You tell 
me always to never give up. So 
I keep pushing forward for you. 
The thought of me growing up. 
And leaving you for the first 
time will hurt. But I will always 
love you no matter what. Her 
hair blows with the wind. As her 
heart beats for the one she 
loves. Giving her all when all 
else fails. The day when tears 
falls from your eyes. Will be the 
day I kiss you goodbye. You will 
be pleased in me. For your 
heart will have no worries. The 
love you have has always stood. 
Not only for me but others as 
well. Without you lord knows 
where I would be. I thank him 
every night. For the blessing he 
has given me. Even in the end 
of time. When the sun fails to 
rise. There will be this light. 
Shining on all to see. I love you 
this is true. From my very 
heart. To yours to keep. Kissing 
you on the cheek my mother.
