We love our mother, as we know she loves us too,
It was just our mother raising us, three girls,
Our father died when we were quite young,
She tried her best to raise us right and do good by us girls.
She's the best mom we could've ever asked for,
She's a very strong, yet stubburn woman,
She's my hero and I'm sure she's my sisters' hero too,
She's a very wonderful, kind, loving, and caring person.
She's everything we could ever ask for and much, much more,
She's not only our mother, but she's our friend as well,
We are very lucky to have her as our mother,
We're not ready to bid her farewell.
Please God, keep her with us for a while longer,
Because we are not ready to lose her,
We all still need her a great deal,
She is all we have left, except each other.
We still need her near, as any child would,
Even though we are adults now and have children of our own,
We will always need her no matter what,
She'll always be by our side, we never have to worry about being alone.
Remember we love you mom and we always will,
You made us who we are today,
We want to make you proud of us, as we are of you,
Don't give up on life yet, please say you'll stay.
I wrote this in October of 2008 after my mom had her third stroke within just a few years of each other. We didn't know if she was even going to pull through or even be the same after her stroke, but my Mother's a fighter and I thank God everyday for keeping her in our lives. I love you, Mom.
