Happy Mother's Day! I want the world to see the love that brought me in this world: My Mother.
MOTHER
To know you is to know love;
Abundant, overflowing,
Encompassing all around you.
People may hurt you,
Neglect you, misunderstand you,
Yet still you love.
Your love reaches out
In tenderness, in empathy,
In understanding.
I can't help but be
A little bit better,
A little bit wiser,
A little bit stronger,
Because I have known Mother love
Such as yours.
