HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

To all you mother's out there, happy mother's day! I wanted to take the time to give my mom the gift of updating my blog!

A Sonnet for My Incomparable Mother

I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.
I am a mother now, and so I know
Hard work is mixed together with the fun;
You learned that when you raised me long ago.

I think of all the things you gave to me:
Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears,
Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul--
All these you spent on me throughout the years.

You loved me with a never-failing love
You gave me strength and sweet security,
And then you did the hardest thing of all:
You let me separate and set me free.

Every day, I try my best to be
A mother like the mom you were to me.

Mom, you are so special to me. You taught me independence and the difference between right and wrong but more than that, you taught me unspoken lessons that I will always remember. I have always admired your Southern quiet strength and poise. You never give up, and you do what you have to do. Your example has taught me to be level headed and grounded. Your beauty has encouraged me to respect myself. Your manners have taught me to respect those around me. Your nurturing has helped me to be a better mother to my own son. He will bear the lessons you have given me. You have made me who I am today. I am forever thankful. I love you momma. I am and I will will always be, your baby girl.

love,

Ashelina
