Did you choose me? Did I choose you? Or did we both pick each other?
Mom…
There were times when I thought I did not want you nor did I care,
There were times when I thought all I wanted is to get away from you,
There were times when you and I were like two enemy fighters on a battle field,
There were times when I thought I wanted to be the opposite of you in every way,
Today…
Whenever I think of a sunny smile, It is you beautiful Mother that comes to mind,
Alive and animated in four dimensions, smiling from the bottom of your heart,
In all and every actions of yours through all the years that have past and right now,
It is you smiling from the core of the core of your soul reaching out to me your beloved
With your burning desire to show me and to the universe, the magical wonders of love,
A mother’s love that has transcended all illusions of human limitations,
A Love that survived trials and trials and trials and trials and trials and trials,
You mother: A Warrior with a mission you are, tenacious, perseverant, and courageous,
You never let go of your purpose: loving, nourishing, and teaching,
Your love: Powerful & burning like a geyser, infinite, magnificent, and ever flowing,
You took on agonizing roles to teach me what I needed in order to live my life,
You dedicated your life journey to being a generous mother,
You gave and gave and gave and gave and you are still abundantly giving
Mom…
I know now, in the deepest of my heart of heart and soul I never ever,
Ceased to profoundly love you, not one year, one month, one day, one hour,
Not even one minute, not even one split second did it ever occur,
Today…
I am so grateful to you mother for all of the most agonizing,
Sacrifices that you took on to serve and teach me,
I am joyfully singing out loud my love to you,
With the same abundance you love me with,
Let me dive into your geyser and be burned in it,
Let me be burn in your boiling sea of love,
Let me be disseminate into your vast ocean,
So I shall no longer be separated from you,
I am ready to shed my old blind limited self,
I am ready to die into your burning love,
I am ready to become one with you and all there is!
With my deepest Gratitude & Love to you Mother,
Yours Forever,
