I knew you Mom as I lay in your womb
With a love so intense
I cherished every song that you sang me
and felt your tender touch
.
As I grew in your likeness
A passion grew within me
I knew that no matter what went wrong
You would stand by me
.
There is none as precious as you
None that can withstand your sacrifices
As I celebrate this Mother’s Day with you
I celebrate my Gift of Life
And am thankful God chose you Mom
to be my guide all through my life..
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

My mother is a great motivator and an inspiration. She worked hard for us. As we were growing up, apart from looking after the family, she used to teach little kids in the air force neighborhood, she ran a successful food business ( she is a great cook), a cookery business to supplement the household income, sewed our clothes for special occasions, and altogether was a multi-tasking mom. Until she fell ill and is now unable to carry on with her fiery spirit in doing things, she kept every one of us on our toes. She is still a force to be reckoned with. Happy Mother’s Day, Ma.
To all the mothers out there, and especially to those who have left behind their legacy to their children by their untimely passing, Happy Mother’s Day!!
