For all the mothers here on Earth

And those gone on ahead

So many words elude my mouth

but circle in my head

I never seem to have the time

or opportunity

To tell how I love you so

Or what you mean to me

There's always something else to do

Or someone else to see

There's never enough time for you

Like time you made for me

But watching you has helped me grow

And pushed me to succeed

Now I can use, the tools I have

To give you what you need

So many times I sucked my teeth

And rolled my eyes at you

Behind your back , below my breath

What else could I do?

A simple child with silly thoughts

Not knowing who you were

The angel that would have my back

When no one one else was there

The one that loved me sight unseen

And chided me when wrong

The one that nursed me when I ailed

And taught me childhood songs

The one that worked for days on end

So I could have the best

The one that thought me beautiful

Apart from all the rest

You helped me in my darkest times

You saw me at my best

You carried me when I was weak

and prayed that I'd be blessed

All the awkward silences

And hurried attitudes

Are now replaced with lots of love

And honor due to you

Dearest mom i love you so

In life as well as death

And if I had to choose again

I'd choose you for myself

Happy Mothers Day mom
