I wish you not to show me your love,
In just odd forms and ways,
I wish you not to shower your love,
With just paper cards, chocolates or bouquets,
I cherish your love,
In those sweet little moments,
When I’m boiling with wrath,
And you make me smile,
When I ruin the French toast,
And you say it’s “kind of nice”,
When you feel sad, when I am sad,
When you try to walk,
The path to which I guide,
But you make me proud,
When you choose your path,
When you win the race,
When you lose the race yet you win the race,
By standing strong,
Against all storms,
When I see you strong,
When I see you tall,
That’s when I feel,
I do not need,
Not one Mother’s day,
Every moment that you shine,
For me is my prize!
Happy Mother's Day
