She, the greatest of all.

           I said a little prayer for you to thank the lord above for blessing me with a lifetime of your tenderhearted love. I thanked God for the caring you’ve shown me through the years, for the closeness we’ve enjoyed in time of laughter and of tears. And so, I thanked you from the heart for all you’ve done for me and I bless the lord for giving me the best mother there could be.

          When God set the world in place, when he hung the stars up in space, when he made the land and the sea, then he made you and me. He sat back and saw all that was good. He saw things to be as they should. Just one more blessing he had in store; he created a mother, but whatever for?


          How did you find the energy, Mom? To do all the things you did, to be a teacher, nurse and counselor, when I was still a kid. How did you do it all, Mom? To be a chauffeur, a cook and a friend. Yet find time to be a playmate, I just can’t comprehend.

         You were my fairy tale princess, so much larger than life. You were my angel and my witness through all my pain and strife. At times you made me angry, great words I proclaim, how someday you’d be sorry, you were the one to blame. But when I needed comforting you always found the time. Your words were more soothing than days of childhood sublime. Now the distance holds us apart, the boundaries have no end. I’ll hold the memories in my heart. I see now it was love, Mom that made you come whenever I'd call, your inexhaustible love, Mom. And I thank you for it all. You’re my mother, my best friend. <3
