To Her...with Love
Open letter…To The G.M.O.A.T.
Greatest mom of all time
I have to make you proud
You’ve given me everything from birth
Every sacrifice so selflessly rendered
For my needs, want and requirements
You didn’t allow yourself to have bad days
Honestly, I didn’t know love like this was possible
To this point in my life I’ve experienced the best
Not that you had the resources
But your perfect heart found a way to make do
The chances you have exposed me to
Some people who have more can only imagine
But thanks to you I can’t complain
For your sake even, I need to show out
How selfish can I be to imagine
That for one minute in the life I can give less than best
Where would I have learnt that from?
Definitely not you!
The way you paved for me was done perfectly
I didn’t see you take sick days
Taking the responsibility of nurturing every soul in your reach
I honestly don’t know how you do it
If you are not perfect, then I don’t understand the meaning of that word
The onus upon me for a payback that is unexplainably great
Superwoman is an understatement to put your character in words
MOM, you’re my hero!
My living and being is for you
I may not always get it right or perform the best
But from my heart and on my life I make this promise
I am going to own the world for you
You show up every time even without help
I never say it but I wonder how you do it
Sometimes I get worried because frankly
How you do what you do, is not normal
Never for one minute did you leave me hanging
I promise to give you the same thing
Even when you were left hanging with responsibility
YOU MADE IT WORK
Now I’m in the biggest phase of my life, thanks to you
Obviously to taking a chance like that was hard
But I know this for sure, you’ve always believed in me
Being my number one supporter from day one
I appreciate every fibre in your being mom
Legendary are your traits and you deserve to be highlighted
I think about your sacrifices every day
And promise to live to please you
Now it’s my turn to crush everything in my way, JUST LIKE YOU DID
Giving me the perfect example, I have to do better than my best
I have to and going to make you proud
For you mom, I have to do my absolute best
You are my world mom, my entire heart
Thank you for how you raised me
I promise not to disappoint
Ever thing that I am now, or ever be
Mom, I owe it all to you!
