‘Thank you mom’
These three words will never be enough
Neither enough to sum up your love
Nor for giving me my world
When there was a storm
You didn’t just show me the clouds
You also showed me the rainbow
And at night
You taught me to see the stars within the dark
For always greeting me with a smile and a warm hug
And always making me feel loved.
Know your inner self
A world without you seems like an empty world
No sun, no stars, no river and no life
You are my strong Hercules
My kind nurse
My fearless superwoman
And my amazing mother.
My first memories of you
Your twinkling eyes
And your pulled back hair
Laughing and playing alongside me
The doctor’s severed the chord that connected us
Not even the sharpest knife can carve the bond between our hearts
And as I grew up
You lightened the world for me
And without you
Perhaps I would still be stumbling in the darkness
You’ve made me believe that angels aren’t all fiction
Because I have my angel – you.
‘Good people burn themselves up just to give others light’
So thank you mom for being that candle
Thank you
For everything.
