Thank You Mother

For the nine months you carried me
‘til the day of my birth
For the hours you labored
To delivered me to earth
For the nights you spent sleepless
To dry the tears of my cries
For the hugs, the kisses
And those soft lullabies
Thank you mother

For the brother and sisters
That I am so blessed to have
For always, equally
Sharing your love
For the sacrifice you make
To do the best you can
For the caring, sharing
You always understand
Thank you mother

Let’s not wait
‘til it’s too late
To tell the ones we love, how we feel
The past is gone
The future is to come
There’s nothing that love can’t heal
Thank you mother
