365 days times eternity

Dear Mom,
I think of you 365 days times eternity;
When days get boring and life gets tough
A single thought of you reminds me
Of all the lessons of life you taught me

I think of you 365 days times eternity;
So I have written so many poems for you in my head
For there are not too many words to tell you indeed
How much I appreciate you.

I think of you 365 days times eternity;
As I think of Life, The world, the struggles, the prayers, the future…
You showed me the value of a Woman.
And I understand that the world goes on because of you.

I think of you 365 days times eternity;
Yet I cannot even start to measure your inner strength
Nor can I truly fully imagine the deepness of your Love
Or even start to appreciate the value of the breath
Of life in me through you.

So to get an early start on the journey
I think of you 365 days times eternity.
Your eyes tell me about your quest for a better world
Your struggle to raise me showed me the true value of Love and Life
Even when things get tough and leaves fall
Or when the pain is too hard to bear and tears fall,
You hang on and keep pushing because you know it is worth it all.

Through pain comes life, therefore through pain come all good things.
Thank you for me.

Thank you for giving me hope;
Your own little way one day at the time.
Thank you for your resolve and patience.
When you get upset at some of my silly ways,
We still talk even if this time it might be yelling.
Then when you cool down we hold hands and walk the garden;
Brag about the beautiful things in this world,
delve into endless discussions about courage, love, goodness and how you need a grand-child

I think of you 365 days times eternity Mother,
and as long as it might take me in this lifetime.

The world talks all day about rare birds, exotic plants, medicine, the sea, the unknown, space, peace, war, pain, joy, happiness, love, food, life, fashion and more
But they do not realize it is you they talk about all day.

You are the rarest of birds, the most exotic of plants, the most soothing medicine, the calm sea, the unknown for none really knows you fully sometimes not even yourself;
You are peace; you are war for you fight to give me peace,
You are pain because how else would you know to endure and tame it
You are joy and happiness for that is your quest and the smile on your face
You are Love because you know how to give it unconditionally
You are food because you feed me
You are life because God gives life through you only
You are fashion because you show me how to live.

So how can I not think of you 365 days times eternity?
I love you Mother!
Happy Mother’s day to all the Women in the world!

-Thank you.
