Dear Mom

I want to say so many things;

I don't know how to start.

I want to capture and describe

The feelings of my heart.

But words are so inadequate

To tell you how I feel

That scarcely any thing I say

Will my True thoughts reveal.

Just let it now suffice to say

That deep inside I know

My love for you is something

That I never will outgrow.

Your many special traits will always

In my heart combine

In such a way that you alone

A perfect mom define.

Your warmth and caring are the traits

That I am proudest of.

My future's brighter through

The fine example of your love.
