Ray Of Hope For Azalea

MOTHER - My MA

I appreciate the many prayers

you've whispered during the worst moments in my life,

and the many hopes for my success

in all that I dreamed of.

I appreciate the kind wishes

that would make me so happy and fulfilled,

and the gentle words of encouragement

that were meant to strengthen my quests.

I appreciate the moments of sorrow

you experienced during my failures,

and the little gestures of kindness

that always made me feel better.

I appreciate your acceptance,

your ability to understand,

and the sincere friendship

that always gave me such security.

I appreciate the wisdom

of all the lessons you taught,

and the meaning behind the words

"unconditional love."

I appreciate all you've done

every word and gesture.

I know you've been the best there is

a mother beyond all compare.

For all you've done...

thank you, Ma.

For all that you are...

I love you.
