A Special Day

Dear Mama,

Today is your birthday, and I wanted to give you this poem  to tell you I love you. I feel like this only gives you a pinch to show how much you care and love for me because you are working constantly and you are always making sure I am: fed, clean and so much more that if I list them all it will be 10:00 at night.

Motherly Love

You love me when it's cold inside,

You love me when it's warm,

You care for me all day and night, 

And treat me with your love.

You help me when I need you most,

You're always there for me,

You stick around to help me out,

And teach me lovely things.

But as we've grown from bright young ones

To tall grown teenagers,

We realize how you've cared for us,

With all your mother love.

So many others may forget 

How much you mean to me.

But why would one who's loved by you
Forget your wondrous care?

And so I wanted you to know

How much you mean to us 

And that I'll never once forget 

How much you care for me.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness

Proverbs 31:16-27

You are such a wonderful person Mama, and I love you very much. This poem I wrote came to me two nights ago and I didn't want to forget it. I was thinking about your birthday and how it has come so fast and soon when the words just popped into my head. I wrote them down as fast as I could hoping not to forget a thing, but when I did forget, the words came right back and never went away until I wrote them down. And now when I think about it I feel the Lord was telling me to write it. I had a big lump in my throat and I couldn't go to sleep. I love you very much and wish you a very happy birthday. I will try to make it as special as I can. I love you!

PS. One day I wish to work as hard as you do, be like you and love like you.
