There’s never a day that should go by where we don’t recognize the efforts our mothers put on the daily. Perla Bechara of EB8A wrote a beautiful poem where she expresses her love and gratitude to her mother.
To my mother:
With each year I grow older
I’m beginning to see
how much of yourself you have sacrificed.
And how much you gave me
No one asked you to do what you did
No one had to say a thing
Because love was the fuel that got you through
Each sleepless night
And early morning
There are times I should have voiced to you
The gratitude I felt within
But I find it quite hard to say it all.
When I don’t know where to begin
You always say how lucky you are.
But I’m sure I’m the lucky one
You might have been blessed with me
But I get to call you my mom.
