To my Mother...

I wish that I could explain how it feels to know, without a doubt, that I have the utmost AMAZING Mother in the world.

When I stumble on life's journeys,
she will always lend a hand.
If I feel I can't go on,
she says, "You will, you can."

I have so much to thank her for,
she truly makes me whole.
I could not love her less,
than with my very soul.

God knows, I 've tried her patience,
almost each and every day.
Yet, still she smiles and hugs me,
like she knows no other way.

I searched everywhere I could for love,
when no love could be found.
Not knowing all I had to do,
was just turn-around.

There is no better example,
of how the 'perfect mom' should be.
A Mother...Best Friend...Angel,
She is all of those to me.

My only real aspiration, Mom,
is to be more and more like you.
To be self-less in a self-ish world,
Always honest, always true.

I thank God you are my Mother,
every day and every night.
And in this world of darkness,
it is You, who are my light.


Thank you for not only being my mother, but for going above and beyond so many times for me. I promise to be worth it someday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I love you,
Ashlee
