Tales Of An 8 Year Old to A 19 Year Old On Your Mother

my mother deserves the world 
if not the world, then she deserves the next best thing 
the unselfish, uncontested and undeniable love of her children 
because the love of those five children, the ones that she was nice enough to give birth to will be far more valuable than anything else in the world when things fall apart 
because things will fall apart
for her and for her children

my mother deserves the world 
if not the world, then she deserves the next best thing 
the unselfish, uncontested and undenied love of her children 
because I have never known anyone else so selfless 
someone who has done everything possible to give her children all that they desired 
someone who has made the sacrifice to take on extra life draining hours, just so that we can go on our pricey trips 
and doing so as a single mother raising five impossible children 
five children with five different personalities and five different tempers 
you'd never think that our relationship at times has been a turbulent one 
because on our good days, we seem to put on facades 
but they are not 
because the love that we have for our mother is like no other 

my mother deserves the world 
if not, the world then she deserves the next best thing
the unselfish, uncontested and undenied love of her children 
and that will be enough for me 
and hopefully, for her too
