To Mom:

From the first day I met you I loved you,
as glad for my birthday as I am yours,
and every day since you have loved me too.

You provided even when we were poor,
made sure that I was happy and always
as glad for my birthday as I am yours.

I thrived on your love like a plant on sun rays,
there was never a time when you haven’t
made sure that I was happy and always

strong enough for even the worst events;
Especially when I went past insane,
there was never a time when you haven’t

been there for me when I would lose my brain.
No one could ask for a better mother,
Especially when I went past insane.

You would hear the same thing from my brother:
From the first day I met you I loved you,
no one could ask for a better mother,
and every day since you have loved me too.
