A long-awaited letter to my mom

A miracle from God is what you called me

A blessing from above

So beautiful and such a fragile human being

Because I was yours no pain was too great

You’ve given your everything so that I could become me

You’ve given your life to me through these years

You’ve sacrificed your time

You’ve sacrificed your freedom,

You’ve sacrificed your wants

All so that I could have the best.

You have picked up my broken pieces

I too wish we could go back to the simpler days

You brushing my hair and tucking me in every night

I will cherish those memories for the rest of my days

I still remember that big book you used to read every night

I was always so eager to cuddle with you

Today your love has just grown stronger

You put forth all your effort to help me achieve my goals and let God do the rest

Even though it hurts you, you have let me make mistakes to grow

You have sowed your dreams into mine

You have been my guide

I will never take for granted the special bond we have

It is only possible for a Mother and Daughter

I thank God for each day we are able to share

You have been my rock for these hard years

You have taught me from lessons you’ve learned

I hope to be half the woman you are

I hear what people say about you

Driven, beautiful, and hardworking

That’s what you are

My mommy dearest you will always be

My mother so loving and so loved by me

My gratitude stretched far beyond the sky

You will forever be my gift

Love your daughter
