For this and that

I am writing a Tribute to Mom in association with Parentous.com

For all the pain I gave you, struggling my way into this world

For all those dirty nappies and sleepless nights

For all those times you kissed my wounds better

For all those good night kisses

For all those times you filled this grumbling tummy

For all those times you let me experiment with your make-up

For all those special Mommy-Daughter days-out

For the wonderful reading habit you gave me

For the times you trusted me

And for the times you forgave me when I broke it

For all those times you wiped my tears

And restored my faith in brighter tomorrows

For teaching me the importance of love and compassion

Of tolerance and forgiveness

For helping me pick the right from wrong

For always wishing the best for me

And for the blanket of your love that kept me warm

I am eternally grateful

And even though I’m in no capacity to ever repay you

This is a little something for you to know you’re special

And how much I love you

My Mommy, my world
