To my Mother
I have told her she was like no other.
I have told her she is one of a kind.
A special beauty, and a rare find.
I told her she is my life.
Without her in it, my life would be zero.
I told her thanks many times for all the love she has shown
When she was around I was never alone.
I told her I appreciate, all the things she has done
She brings joy to my life, and so much more.
I have told her how much I love her, in so many ways
She is the joy in my life, the sunshine in my days.
I have told her she is the best friend, I've ever had.
When she was around, I was never sad.
I told her I am so glad she is my Mother
She also gave me another joy, my brother.
I told her she is the wind beneath my wings
Because as my Mother, she has given me so many reasons for living.
In closing this letter there is only one thing left to say,
I could not have loved you any more and will forever !!!!
