mom

For as long as i can remember-

you were always by my side,

to give me support, confidence and trust.

For as long as i can remember-

you were always the person i looked up to

so strong, independent, and sensitive.

For as long as i can remember-

you always provided stability within our family,

full of laughter, full of tears, full of love.

For as long as i can remember-

and still today

you are everything a mother should be.

Who i have become today is because of you,

i continue to live inside of your aging soul.
