How do you almost spend two decades on someone,
And only expect them to build a good life for themselves in return?
Well, that's my mom for you.
I look at her now
And the only thing I can think of is
"oh, god could never." No one could.
The only one who is always there for me
Angry, more than myself, when I'm hurt
Worried, more than anyone else, when I'm unwell.
Praying to god more than she ever did for herself.
Over these years,
She has changed professions more than anyone else
She's been my cook, my therapist, my doctor,
My teacher, my best friend, my best bond
Now help me name one person so diverse?
My greatest cheer leader, my hardest critique
My alarm to wake up to, my lullaby to sleep
My harbor when the whole world comes undone.
The one who supports me when I'm right
Scolds me when I'm wrong, but supports me despite.
Cuz literature fails me when I describe her
And the universe fails me if I wanna find someone like her
Feelings are not enough for my love for her
She's the first earthling I learnt to love
Of course, she's known me 9 months longer than the world.
Mom,
Home changes its destination to wherever you are
And I always will love you, no matter how near or far
In the world changing constellations every other night
You have always been my own northern star.
A very Happy Mothers' Day!!!!
