To My Mother, With Love

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way,
But my heart is beating with something to say.
To tell you, remind you, and help you see,
How much you truly mean to me.

After everything that you’ve been through,
It’s no wonder that it’s hard to view.
Your own reflection with gentle eyes,
But your strength, Mum, never lies.

The heartbreak you’ve endured in such a short time,
Could make anyone leave a part of themselves behind.
Yet each morning, you rise and face the day,
And I pray God keeps sending strength your way.

On your small shoulders, you carry so much,
Still showing up with your loving touch.
You take on your tasks, though you feel low,
Still pushing forward, even when it’s slow.

Your heart is full of love and grace,
You smile through tears, with so much strength in place.
You’re patient, kind, and always aware,
And I thank God every day you’re there.

I’m so grateful, you’re a mother of mine,
A soul so gentle, yet fiercely divine.
We share the same traits; loving and true,
Sensitive hearts, just trying to push through.

When I look at you, I see myself too,
And I’m proud of all you’ve had to do.
Even when life has seemed unfair or strange,
You’ve stood tall, adapting to every change.

But please remember who you were before,
Before life’s weight knocked on your door.
You bloomed once in a garden bright,
Fed by joy, love, and guiding light.

That soil still exists, it waits for you,
With compassion, strength, and something new.
Let joy return, let laughter stay,
And may you flourish in every way.

You are amazing, thank you for all you do.
You are not a burden; I just wish I could do more for you.
You are beautiful, so don’t lose that smile.
May healing and happiness meet you every mile.

You’re stronger than you know, please don’t give up.
And I pray that God overflows your cup.
With peace, abundance, and perfect health.
So, Mum, please start caring for yourself.

You are wonderful. You are blessed.
And Mum, I love you, because to me, you’re the best.
