Written from the eyes of a child to the mother that they love.
The nine months that you carried me I got to receive the ultimate bond. Just you and me, as one entity. The years that followed that are riddled with downs and failures; yet they are blessed with ups and victories. Words learned, love shared, beatings given, and hugs of care; all done in the manner of love; your love for this child you held up to the world. As time elapsed and I began to live more in this world, you let me spread my wings and learn of the world; yet you never left my side. You went from being my wall to my shadow, always with me even when you're unseen. You pushed my forward, I thought it was you just being mean. You saw the potential I couldn't see, you see the hills I have to overcome before I could even blink.
You were my first pillar of support and my last line of defense. You are there when I feel alone. No man or woman shall ever lead me astray from you but for soo long. I am going to rebel, but that's to be expected, what can I say I'm young and dumb. Yet you put the fear of God into me, and showed me that I have to learn to not become numb; numb to HIM and to you and those who love me. Yet to grasp the world with my hand, because you showed me that everything that I could ever want is possible, my only true villian is the one in the mirror. You know that even when I do fall short and run out of places to go, I shall always come back to you, the one who showed me that I was never invincible and will always need to learn to not get in my own way.
I thank you too little, and I can't express the love I have for you because your love outweighs mine 100 to 1. So these few words I write from my heart is my gift to you and I can say I meet those odds 101.
Happy Mother's Day from the child you love.
