To My Mom
I love you
For all the Times you picked me up
when I was down
For all the times you brushed my hair and tucked me into bed
Or needed something for yourself and put me first instead.
For all the dreams we shared, the tears and laughter too, in my life. I’ve loved them all.
To the world you may have been ‘just a mother’, but to me, you were the world!
Love your daughter
Delphia
