A Heartfelt Ode to My Mother
Mom, thank you for carrying me in your beautiful body, thank you for loving me every moment, thank you for being there for me always. I wouldn’t be where I am if not for your choice to care and nurture my being. I might not remember that I had chosen you, but the presence within you reminds me of this truth of my own identity…
I am the immense courage I see in you. I am this divine presence that you hold. I am the flawless perfection that shines upon you. I am the beauty that exists within you. I am the free spirit that carries you. I am this curious child that lives in your mind. I am the willpower that you behold. I am the opportunity you lay at my door. I am the compassion that lies in your heart. I am the oneness that you experience in every being. I am the dream you dreamt. I am the life you wished. I am the victory you achieved.
All I want to say is that I love you, Mom, for all that you are. No matter how much I grow in body, my spirit continues to evolve from the vastness of your being and enhance my learnings at each step. I smile and I thank you, Mom, for the gifts you continue to bestow upon me every moment…
Thank you, God, for blessing me with this eternal gift—”Mom.”
With Gratitude,
