Okasan/Mother

"A mother's hands hold the universe."

If I were to be anyone

I'd chose to be you
Not only for your beauty
But for the things that make you honest and true

To have your faithful patience
And always constant love
Tender guidance and understanding
And forgiveness from above

To have your lips of wisdom
And heart that's all pure gold
To have your endurance
And arms that constantly hold

To have those eyes of sunshine
That cry tears of love
That rejoice through the difficulties
That hold gentleness like a dove

If I were to be anyone
I'd chose to be you
Not only for your beauty
But for the things that make you honest and true

One day I'll be a mother
And this is what I pray
That in the way you've been a mother
I'll be too, in every way

I love you mommy! You'll always be my bestest girl and number one hero! In every way you've managed to make me smile, laugh, sing, dance and believe, trust, live, and serve the Lord, I pray only that I too can do the same for my own child! Thanks so much for believing in me, trusting in me, and always being there to help me through all the tough and rough stages of my life! ...though, they'll never ever end!...so I still need you!! You're the coolest mom, and I love you so so much!! Happy Mother's Day!! ..a day you've DEFINITELY earned! I celebrate you!! xxxx
