for the time you spent caring, nurturing, supporting
for the many compliments and corrections you lent
for the love you share in sacrifice for me
for the energy you exert way pass your point of exhaustion
and for the the affirmations, confirmations, and conversations you’ve given
that have established my womanhood today
yes, for this, I say Thank You.
the job isn’t always easy but you wear it well
I’m difficult to deal with but you never stop testing me
you are exactly what a mother should be
no, you didn’t mother the world
but you definitely influenced me
from a deep deep place of reverance gratitude and admiration
Happy Mother’s Day
