Mama I love you.
Maman je t’aime
Te amo mamá.

Finding the perfect gift for mother can be challenging, but expressing my love is even more. Is there a word, a sentence to express my love?
Love, infinity, feeling, senses, admiration, just for you
Hospital, bed, midwife, crying and my anticipated arrival.
A piercing sound, laughing, joy despite your pain.

My feeder, cleaner, raiser, doctor, teacher.
My cook, waitress, you excel with every dish.
My spoiler, defender, accuser, you are my judge and my jury.
My chauffer, my tour guide and travel companion.
You are my everything and my star, a true gift to me.

No one choses a family to be born into.
No one choses to be born from a single mum or adopted.
No one choses a mum to be born from.
No one choses a street or a house to be born into.
It is always a mystery where we are born. But a gift for mother is a thoughtful way to show gratitude.

No one choses to be born black, yellow, or white.
No one choses to be born into a poor or rich family.
No one choses to be born in Hollywood or a ghetto.
Each of us lives with the memory of a childhood.
But never to deny who we are or forget our upbringing.

You made me who I am, the good, the bad, the unknown of me is no longer your responsibility.
Take a big breath and do not look back, your pain was worth it.
I am flying without your protective wings,
Your job as a mother was done with flying colours.

Thank you, mama, there is nothing, just nothing in this world to return the favour.
My love for you may not be enough. Perhaps a beautiful gift for mother could accompany these words.
I leave this letter tinted with my tears expressing my love for you.
