My Favorite Woman

 

You carried me

For nine months.

You were so young,

A child, as a matter of fact.

You changed your life,

And decided to keep me.

 

You are the only one,

Who knew me,

Before anyone else.

 

After spent twelve

Hours in labor,

A total of three days

In the hospital,

You brought me home,

As a birthday gift to

Yourself.

 

You gave my your family name,

And we became one.

I have learned that

I don’t stand alone.

I stand for ancestors.

 

Sacrifice is what you know best,

You gave up senior year,

You gave up prom,

You gave up friends,

And you did not party.

 

Your ideal late night

Was making sure

I was feed and asleep.

 

 

You worked multiple jobs,

To keep a proper portion of food

On our kitchen table,

So my brothers and I could eat.

 

You did everything you could

To make sure there was a roof

On our head, and clothing on

Our backs.

 

You and I are the best of friends.

We were always together,

Through the tears and laughter.

The bus rides, and hour spend

In the car.

 

My brothers and I are happy

And healthy, smart and strong.

Experienced, and safe.

 

I made it to graduation day

Because of you. The hard work

Paid off on both ends.

 

You are my mother.

Mine forever and for always!

Thank you Mom,

I love You!

I think any mother would love this wonderful dedication piece!

You have captured the essence of a mothers love and a daughters gratitude.

Fine writing! It's captures the heart, as you paint your words across the canvas. :)
