Mom

From the time you found out you were pregnant you loved me,
Before you even knew me, you were so in love with me,
The moment I was born you were infinitely more in love with me,
As your last child and only boy, you were so happy for me to be alive.

When the doctors said I was sick, your heart hurt.
You were given a gift, and at the same time, the news that I might not survive.
You loved me, but didn’t even know who I was.

When I was in surgery, you stood at the window,
Heartache, pain, agony, stress,
Praying that I would make it out alive.
Your love was unconditional.

From a young age you showed your never-ending love.
Teaching me right from wrong your love never quit shining,
As I grew, so did your love for me.
You taught me to be a “fine young man,”
And when I disobeyed you still said, “I Love You.”

Growing up you showed me what love meant,
As I continue to grow, you continue to show your love.
Even when I didn’t show my love towards you,
You still found a way to show me your love.

Thank you for always loving me,
Thank you for always being there for me,
Thank you for being the best mom ever,
Thank you for being you.
I Love You.
