It’s hard to give a gift from another country, but I wrote this for you, Mom!  I’m so thankful for you, and I love and miss you so much!


 


I want to take a minute

And recognize someone

She’s known me and she’s loved me

Since before day one.

 

This goes out to you, mom,

You, you are like no other

I hope you know just how much I love you

And that I’m thankful you’re my mother.

 

Just like so many others

We’ve had our share of fights,

But thank you, mom, for loving me

Through all those tear-filled nights.

 

In the times I didn’t want to hear

The words you had to say,

I know, and I am truly grateful

That you prayed for me night and day.

 

You are truly the most beautiful—

Inside and out.

Not only are you my mom

But my best friend—no doubt.

 

I wish I could just teleport

To be with you today,

But know I love and celebrate you,

Even from a thousand miles away.


 

 Happy Mother’s Day!
