Try to be a mother like you

I often contemplate my childhood, Mom
I am a mother now, and so I know
Hard work is mixed together with the fun
You learned that when you raised me long ago


I think of all the things you gave to me
Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears
Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul
All these you spent on me throughout the years


You loved me with a never-failing love
You gave me strength and sweet security
And then you did the hardest thing of all
You let me separate and set me free


Every day, I try my best to be a mother like the mom you were to me

PS : I LOVE YOU MOM
