As I hand my mother
a Mother's Day card
and a bouquet of her favorite
flowers, daisies,
I see what keeps me going
in life;
her smile.

And although I see her
genuinely smiling,
I cannot deny that deep inside me,
I am saddened.
I am saddened because
I know that my mother deserves
much more.
Far, far much more
and I have not yet
provided with
everything that she deserves..
