I Hope You Know

Dear Mom,

I hope you know how much I love you

I hope you know that you're the best

I hope you never worry about the stumbles you make

Or whatever they may say

I hope you know how much the good outweighs the bad

I hope you know the value of every hug

Every tickle-tickle and every "good night"

I hope you know I'm here, like you are for me

I hope you know what every little gesture means to me

I hope you know what a comfort you are

That you're my brightest star

That I wouldn't trade any of it for the world

Mom, I hope you know how much you mean to me

How much every "I love you" is as important as the world

And how I never ever want to forget to say it or miss the chance

I hope you know the mountains you've helped me move

The storms you've helped see me through

Were all easier to defeat because of you

I hope you know how I can't say it enough

They're such small words, thank you's and I love you's

Tiny little phrases for the most amazing gifts anyone could ever give

I love you

I love you

I love you

And I hope you liked this, too

Love your forever little girl,

Calla
