there are a lot of mothers in the world.but i got the one who was just what i needed.
the one who understood me,
the one who loved me, no matter what.
the one i can never repay.
you used to say that one day
i'd look back and thank you
but now that day has actually come.
thanks, mama,
for saying no
when it needed to be said,
for giving me limits
to keep me safe,
and, most of all,
for believing in me.
i hope i can make you proud,
since that's the only way
i can ever begin
to thank you enough.
