Thank you for the smiles
that give me the strength to walk this lonely road.

Thank you for supporting me
whenever I am weak.

Thank you for the hugs
that support me whenever I am about to fall down.

Thank you for saving me
whenever I am drowning.

Thank you for the band-aids on my wounds
that stop my blood from gushing.

Thank you for loving me
whenever I am being hard to love.

A mother is someone who sees the beauty in you when everyone else sees nothing. The ape who said her baby was most beautiful at the competition for Jupiter was a mother.
