To Mom - with love

One grateful daughter once wrote to her mother:

"Mama, you gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady
And Mama, all you had to offer was a promise of lifetime of love
Now I know,
There is no other love like a mother's love for her child
And I know,
A love so complete someday must leave
It must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I will ever hear
Goodbye is the last time I will hold you near
Someday you will say that word and I will cry
It will break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Mama, you gave life to me
You turned a young one into a woman
Mama, all I ever needed was a guarantee of you loving me
Yes I know, there's no other love like a mother's love for her child
...And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday will be gone
It must say goodbye

But the love you give will always live
You'll always be there everytime I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you till forever comes

And when you need me
I will be there for you always
I will be there your whole life through

I will be there this I promise you, Mama
I will be your beacon through your darkest night
I will be your wings that guide your broken flight

I will be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you till forever comes

My mother does know I love her. And my grandmother knows my mother loves her. And I know my daughter loves me.

Sisters let us not break this bond. Let us love each other unconditionally. Let us try...that is all I ask.
