My one and only


When every thing is said and done,
In all the world there's only one,
Who hugs us tight and dries our tears,
Or saves us from our nighttime fears.

Just before we go to bed,
She'd tuck us in and kiss our head.
"Sweet dreams my darling. Please sleep tight"
Was all you needed to rest through the night.


She scolded us when we were bad,
And even though it made her sad,
The reason for it all along,
Was to teach us right from wrong.


She pushed us hard to do our best,
To tackle every single test,
And even when our lives got loud,
We do the best to make her proud.


So just one day is not enough,
To praise the superhero tough,
People in our lives who teach,
That nothing is out of our reach.

It's cuz of her you try again.
Because you can remember when,
She picked you up when you were small,
And said "you can do ANYTHING at all"


She's got the hardest job to do,
But always knows how to get through.
She does so much you ask how or why,
I think because some moms can fly.

So here's to you MY everything,
You're proof that angels don't need wings.
Your words and love have molded me,
Into the man I'm proud to be.

I'm everything because of you,
And know there's nothing I can't do.
You kept me on the beaten track,
I wish one day to pay you back.

So here's a poem from my heart,
To prove that this is paybacks start.
I am blessed to have you and no other,
I love you....my one and only,
Mother.
