Happy Mother's Day Mama

Mama you gave life to me and spoil me with such unconditional love You raised me up on your own and gave me all that you could, and made sure I learned from young age that wanting and needing are two different things that I must understand I won't always get the YES. You taught me to be a lady with self respect and a humble passion heart act with pure intent that shall love others especially the needy ones. You made sure that God is above everything that I must always give Him thanks and praise. You told me but once, that I have two choices in life... Be lazy and miserable or work hard and happiness will sustain me, and of course I wanted to be just like you mama. No matter what situation I'm in, you're always there to the rescue, you never yelled but softly asked if I learned a lesson. In your beautiful chocolate brown eyes I was perfect and still is somewhat..."wink." In your sweetest and golden heart I was the owner and will always be. That beautiful sweet smile lets me know how proud you are for me, and In your loving arms is my comfort zone safe and worldly peaceful. Day in and day out you are as ever the same never loses a single strand of your patience and unconditional love for me. Mama you're my world inspiration my hero. Words can't express enough of my gratitude for all you've done and sacrificed for me. I am who I am today because of you and God I am truly and sincerely grateful everyday. I thank you with all my heart and soul, and I love you to the max and to no end. Happy Mother's Day Mama...

I believe that a mother/daughter bond has no match in the human equation. The love that you share is remarkable and so self evident in this poem. You recall all the magic that surrounded your youth and recognize that your mother was the source and inspiration for that magic. Your words are like a bouquet of flowers that brighten the senses and pay tribute to the love you hold for your mother. Emile. #7
