Mom – The Heart of My Home, the Soul of My Life

 

Mom, I did not choose you, nor did you choose me,
Yet destiny bound our souls for eternity.
You carried me through sacrifice and pain,
And blessed my life with love beyond measure and gain.

Your simple values became my guiding light,
Your silent lessons taught me to make life right.
Perhaps I never realised your worth,
Until you left this beautiful earth.

When you were with me, the house became a home,
Filled with warmth, where love could freely roam.
Now the walls remain, but silence fills the space,
I search for your love in every familiar place.

Your soothing words still echo in my heart,
Though distance and death have kept us apart.
Each visit to your resting place reminds me of your grace,
And the countless sacrifices no one could replace.

Your womb was my first and safest home,
Where love embraced me before I could roam.
You nurtured my life with endless care,
And taught me strength, courage and prayer.

Mom, I promise to follow the path you showed,
To uphold your values wherever I go.
With kindness, courage and humility,
I will live with faith in my own ability.

Though you have left this earthly place,
Time can never erase your love and grace.
You were my first home, my strength and my guide,
Forever, dear Mom, you live inside.

Life moves on, but one truth will remain:
A mother's love lives beyond death and pain.
