Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there who give of themselves selflessly everyday. And of course, a very special Happy Mother’s Day to my special mom…
My mom who gave me wings to fly as high as I want to fly.
Who catches me if I fall,
then gently brushes me off and with a gentle nudge pushes me on my way again.
Who tucks my hair behind my ear in real or thought,
when I feel discouraged or not feeling well, even at my age of 49.
My mom who cheers me on every step of the way,
on this journey called life.
Who wants nothing more for me than happiness.
Who silently sits in prayer for her little girl when all she can do is pray,
out of respect for her lil’ chickadee’s grown independence.
My mama hen,and I, her lil’ chickadee, as we refer to each other lovingly,
her wing always warm and strong whenever I need to tuck myself under it.
The woman who when I look into her eyes, see not only her soul, but mine as well.
My reflection. My heart. My mom.
I love you.
