I sit and think of the right words
To say about my mom
Truth is that I do not think
I can really say enough…
This was going to continue as a poem, but let me just say what is on my heart. I’ve written many letters or messages to my mom over the years, whether it be for a birthday, mother’s day, randomly, Christmas.
I know my mom would be ok with just an “I love you.” Yet, I usually write a little more, hoping to convey a little more of how much she truly means to me. It’s funny, because I feel like I end up writing a lot of the same phrases or words. So, why do I write these words of endearment? Well, because it’s good for mothers and people in general to hear that they are loved, even when they already know it. That’s why I do it for her.
But what about for me? Do I get anything out of it? Besides the fact that I enjoy seeing the joy on Mom’s face when she thanks me for the encouraging words, I don’t really get much out of it… I actually feel like maybe I could have written more. See, here’s the thing… Mom and I share unconditional love. It’s a love that can’t be explained. It’s a love that doesn’t really make sense. It’s a love that lasts, even when dissension arises.
My point is, that even though we can’t fully explain this kind of love through words or even actions, we can still try… because it’s all we have.
So, I will simply say to you on this Mother’s Day, Mom, “I love you.”
