For Mom

Shes not my birth mother
yet she definitely is my Mom
 
She never changed my diaper
nor wiped my nose
 
She has however, dried my tears  
and changed my life...forever
 
Its been a long time coming for me to honor this woman for exactly who she is
She is my Mom
 
Shes kept my Dad happy all these years
and their relationship is one for the books
 
She is fire
She is rain
She dances with the stars and the moon
She is a warm hug  
She is laughter
She is tough as nails
yet soft as feathers
She is the woman I hope I have the honor to become
 
She is not my birth mother
But she is my Mom
 
Thank you for being there for me whenever Ive needed you
no matter what
No card, nor gift could ever say what I feel for you today
You mean more to me than youll ever know
I cannot express how important you are to me and how much I love you and our relationship
Long live our private talks and giggles
I love you
 
Happy Mothers Day, Mom
