Lucky Enough by LinzAy

I'm lucky enough to have a mom like you. I wouldn't ask for any other...ever. There's no way another could love me or care about me as much as you. Nor is there any chance I could loveor care about another the way i do you. You are a treasure in this world that only me and 3 other are lucky enough to have for a mom.

I'm sure mothers everywhere love their children but i know only your love, thank God. And I don't think there's any way that their love compares to yours. Although it may bug me sometimes, you do everything you can to know where I am - if I'm safe. You ask me about me. You ask me about my friends. you ask me about nothing sometimes. All to let me know you love me. To let me know you care. Even when I avt how I shouldn't, talk how I shouldn't, and sometimes disrespect like I shouldn't - you love me, unconditionally. And it's a love no other can replace or come close to.

I'm lucky enough to have a mom like you. An inspiration. Your heart inspires mine. Your strength inspires me. And when I see a smile I know is genuine from you - it inspires my own smiles, my own happiness. If I show half the strength, half the love, and half the dedication you have so far in my life, I'll die a happy daughter. Knowing I was at least half the woman my mom is.

I'm sure daughters everywhere spend time with their mothers. But I only know my time spent with you, thank God. Those times we "went to the hospital" with Grandma, mine and yours secret lunches and dinners, the time we get to spend alone, the time we all spend together as a family, the times I made you smile, all those times you made me smile - all these times and so much more mean so much to me. You mean so much to me. me.

All those times you cried made my heart break. I always hoped for your pain to be somehow given to me, even when it seemed I just wanted to get away from it all. I can't stand seeing tears fall from your eyes. It hurts my heart and soul.

And all those times you smiled filled my heart with so much joy - still do. You haven't seemed to be one of the happiest people on the earth lately and each smile of yours has a special place in my heart. They're beautiful - your smiles. You're beautiful.

I know I'm not the perfect daughter, which is why I'm even more grateful than most - I've got the perfect Mom. I know I hardly ever show how much I love you, how much I care about you, how grateful of you I am, I'm sorry.

I Love You Mom.

Happy mother's day!
Happy mother's day! What a nice poem about your mom. Your last lines relate to me also. I hardly ever showed how much I loved her, how much I cared or be grateful. Then it was to late. She was gone. It's real nice you made this poem about her. She will be very happy to read this, I'm sure. Happy mother's day to your mom. Thanks for sharing this poem LinzAy. I really enjoyed it. Thanks
