Mama, I thank God every time I think of you

There will always be a special connection between a mother and her child. It is something that one could hardly explain. We sometimes get hurt by their words and often misunderstood them by the way they show their love. But they will always have a special place in our hearts.

Annoying she seems to be at times. But she is the one who’s hurt the most when her child is in pain. She believes in her child when no one else does. She understands when no one else can. Her words give power and comfort. And it’s amazing how a mother’s love can influence the destiny of her child.

She often hides what she truly feels. But deep in her heart are prayers and dreams for her family. A heart so tough, a heart who greatly loves. Isn’t she lovely?—a beautiful soul and a wonder woman she will always be.

Expressing my gratitude to all the mothers in the world. You are incredible. Thank you for your selfless love. You may not know it but the world is a better place because of you.

Life has become more beautiful because of you

Like a ray of sunshine, your love resonates in this heart of mine

A love so tender, a love so true

Mama, I thank God every time I think of you

There were times I thought you care not about my hurts

And questioned your love when you did not say a single word

Later did I know that my pain is hurting you so

In silence, you wept somewhere only you know

Your love is often misunderstood

Like a foreign language spoken for good

It took a long while for me to realize

Finally, now I’m seeing it in a new light

Motherly love is indeed exceptional

The misery you’d bear has nothing to compare

You’ll give it all, you’d risk it all

Mama, thank you for loving us with your heart and soul

With all my heart, I dedicate this poem for you

I love you more after everything we’ve been through

When things get tough, remember what I told you

Mama, you are loved and I thank God for I have you

Love,

Kiana Leigh
