Happy Mother's Day

I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.
I am a mother now, and so I know
Hard work is mixed together with the fun

You learned that when you raised me long ago.
I think of all the things you gave to me: Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears,
Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul.
All these you spent on me throughout the years.

You loved me with a never-failing love
You gave me strength and sweet security,
And then you did the hardest thing of all
You let me separate and set me free.
Every day, I try my best to be a mother like the mom you were to me.
I Love U.... (By Joanna Fuchs)
