To my mom

I'm a young independent woman.

I have my mom to thank for that.

I'm not afraid to speak my mind and tell you what I think.

I have my mom to thank for that.

I've learned to face the suffering and difficulty that life sometimes throws at you. 

I have my mom to thank for that.

I've learned to be nurturing and caring for the less fortunate.

I have my mom to thank for that.

I'm in the process (I promise mom) of learning how to cook.

I have my mom to thank for that. 

I've learned to be thankful for even the slightest blessings in life.

I have my mom to thank for that.

I am the woman I am because I've strived to become the beautiful woman my mother is. 

Happy Mother's Day, I love you.
