To my mother on Mother's Day*

Before I start what might seem like,
The longest, most important,
Extremely emotional poem,
I must say these words
Although they don't express the amount
Of which
I LOVE YOU!!

I love you,
I Love You,
I LOVE YOU!

I know that there are days,
Days when I say:
Go away;
I hate you;
I wish you weren't part of my life.

But you have to remember,
Most of all,
The memories that stick with ME,
Are these:
The day you brought home our dogs;
The day you told us we were moving;
The day we fell in love with my puppy;
When we brought home my puppy;
The summers returning home;
All those sports games you showed up to
And cheered me on;
The day I finished 8th grade;
All those dances you helped me get ready for;
Those lunch/shopping dates;
Both my proms;
Senior graduation;
And finally,
The day you dropped me off for college!

These days and even more
Are forever burned, seared,
Into my mind.
Nothing can ever replace them,
But we can add more days,
Days just as important,
Or special,
As the years go on.

Through all my mistakes,
My accomplishments,
My craziness,
My ups and downs,
You have been there.
Lifting me up
And reminding me who I was
And that I was special.
Showing me
That nobody else's opinion mattered,
No one's but mine.

So today,
On this day,
This day specially for you,
Mother's Day,
I want to say:
Thank you.
Thank you for loving me;
For watching out for me;
For showing me the way;
But most of all,
Thank you
For being my mother!


THANK YOU
&
I LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Mother's Day <3
