She is the woman I love most

She is the woman who loved me before we met,
The one who gave me life.
She is the woman who kissed my bruises and scrapes
The one who made it all right.
She is the woman who often would go without,
So that my life would be better.
She is the woman who showed me how to laugh,
With whom I always have fun.
She is the woman who taught me how to forgive,
No matter what the crime.
She is the woman who showed me how to love,
When I didn't even love myself.
She is the woman who taught me how to work,
And the value of a dollar.
She is the woman who has always encouraged me,
The one who believed I could.
She is the woman who taught me how to be strong,
But also how to be soft.
She is the woman I always miss the most,
When all I need is a hug.
She is the woman who is most beautiful,
More than any flower in the woods.
She is the woman who makes me feel the luckiest,
The one on whom I rely.
She is the woman I strive to be most like,
She is of course, my mother.

"Happy Birthday Mum!!!"

Thank you for being the most wonderful blessing in my life.
I love and miss you so very much and cannot wait to see you in September.
