A reminder to appreciate all the women in your life
She stopped living for herself long ago
Sleep is an alien word
For her kin and kind
She gave her whole world
—
Her career is moving
But like a turtle slow
Even on her worst days
She made none feel low
—
Her smile has the capacity
To brighten up the room
Her hands hold a medicine
That can make a barren land bloom
—
She asks for nothing in return
Our happiness is enough
We owe her so much
No money will ever be enough
—
Her love, her sacrifices
Her endless affection
Her passion and dedication
Her fierce protection
—
So just once
Put all your work aside
Walk up to her
And open your arms wide
—
Tell her you respect her
Mother, sister or wife
Let her know that
You’ll love her all your life
