To Mama

This is for the sleepless nights you spent thinking 'bout life's ups and downs and in betweens For the efforts you continuously exert, though unseen For the hungry stomach you choose to ignore Just so on our plate you could put more This is for the silent tears you have cried For days when no one seems to be on your side For the words you want to shout but chose to keep in your heart For trying to keep things together, though it tears you apart For being soft but yet sturdy and strong For making me feel, I always belong For setting aside your youth so I could enjoy mine For your sweet smile even during the toughest of times This is for your courage amidst your fears For choosing joy despite the tears This is for the battle you've won over the years This is for you mom. Cheers!
