Words To My Mother

I don't want to thank you today

For yesterday's best effort,

Or for last year's sacrifice.

I don't want to tell you I care

Just this once, for occasion

And never say it again...

There are no days off

Not a fleeting moment

When you are not there,

And it stands to reason

My word of appreciation

Should never end.

The world may take one day

To highlight your beauty

To showcase your unconditional love,

But I love you everyday.
