To cry on her shoulders. I'm not getting younger but older.

To watch me when I fall. Encouraging me to still stand tall.

To hug me when she misses me. With her, is where I should be.

To laugh at all my jokes. When she's wearied, I'll be there to fix all that's broke.

To listen to my stories. Hopefully she gets the message and not scorn me.

To tell me she hurts. That's been my job since birth.

To share her experience, strength, and hope. I'm her child and I know she'll cope.\

To let me live. It's because of her, that I can give.

This is what my mother is for. If it wasn't for you, mom, I wouldn't have a life to even explore. Thank you.
