There once was a woman that was far wiser than most
Who, though her son rarely put away his dishes and tissues
Still prepared and buttered his toast.
Friends often asked for her advice, no matter her clothing or shoes
For they knew that unique to her alone
When it came to people she best understood the issues.
In a world of many sayers but few doers, she truly shone
Becoming known as a singular woman of decisive action
For her perseverance and open embrace of the unknown.
Yet her story was never centered on herself or her ambition
She wanted the best for her family, she would often say
Sacrificing her own dreams to help others bring theirs to fruition.
Though I don't say it enough, thank you for showing me the way
For it is you who has guided me to where I am today.
Happy Mother's Day.
