Today, I hugged my mother.
I said I’m sorry
and broke down into tears.
She hugged me tighter,
Rubbed my back,
and said I love you too.
Today, I hugged my mother.
A hug that was unlike no other,
I apologized.
For my mother is unappreciated,
Mistreated,
Misunderstood,
Neglected,
Over worked,
Under encouraged,
And yet she still loves me.
Today, I hugged my mother.
I owe her that much.
To love her because she raised me,
No!
To love her because she loves me,
No!
To love her because I want her to know
You are beautiful inside and out.
Whether you yell and fight,
Prove me wrong when your right,
Forgive me for my mistakes,
Even when they happen twice.
God gave you a child, His creation, me.
Yet, He blessed me with you.
Today, I hugged my mother.
Not because I haven’t seen her
but because my mother has given all,
All her love,
All her energy,
All her time,
All her efforts,
All of her to make me the woman I am.
Today, I hugged my mother.
I hugged my mother.
I hugged my mother for she is only one.
My mother is unlike no other,
For God made her just for me,
She loves me when I am wrong,
Encourages me when I am down,
Shows me the right way,
Even when I don’t listen,
My mother has never stopped…
Today, I hugged my mother.
I fell in love with the woman she is,
I recognized all she has done,
Asked for forgiveness for all I’ve done,
All it took,
One hug!
Today, I hugged my mother.
