who gathered light around her
and carried music within
who had quiet dreams
peace, and joy for life
She fell in love and became my mom
She thought there was nothing sweeter than babies
"I just couldn't get enough of you."
She later told me
"I knew I was meant to be your mom. I couldn't be happier."
Seasons
Years
Sisters
Homework and story time
Mom was there in every scene
With her soft smiles that made us feel safe
with her gentle hands that nudged us to test the wings
We were not exactly trouble-free teenagers
None of us took the easiest path
All the challenges
All the stumbling
We couldn't have made it without you mom
Thank you for giving us strength and balance
for letting us welcome life with both arms wide open
for putting us on the driver's seat of our lives
for filling up our heart with today and tomorrow
with love and happiness
Thank you for being who you are
Happy Happy Mother's Day
Love you more each and every day
