Happy Mother’s Day
You come to me
And I am back in that place
Where my legs don’t touch the ground when I sit upright
And I long for nothing more than to feel your hand on the small of my back
Rocking me to sleep
Reminding me that tomorrow is an exciting place
And you will always be there to share it with me
No matter for much distance in between us
No matter how much time has past
I cherish the moments you taught me to be patient
The times you demanded that I be in control
You gave me the gift of breath and quietness
And taught me to live at the top of my voice
My dreams where never to small to pursue
Always there with a reassuring nod and the advise to explore
Follow my dreams, don’t give up
Messages that only a mother could impart with such confidence
You paved the way
With your sacrifice, sleepless nights, constant worry, and the ability to let me go and be in my own place, make my mistakes
And in the end be brilliant
You created the space for me to be the person I have grown into today
You gave me the gift of life, reasoning, the strength to persevere through the hardships and joys of life.
Thank you does not begin to cover the gratitude I feel in my heart. I only hope that I continue to make you proud.
Happy Mothers Day with all my love
