Mother

Mother is the first light at dawn, that I don't necessarily see but definitely feel around me.

Mother is the first voice I hear in the morning, and without which I have no strength to even wake up.

Mother is the sound around the house that makes me feel safe and secure at all times.

Mother is the only reason why I would "want" to do my chores, and the only reason I'd feel guily if I don't.

Mother is the only one I believe when she tells me that everything will be fine.

Mother is the hope that things are better than they seem and that tomorrow will be better than today.

Mother is the one who genuinely and patiently tolerates my craziness, weakness and hysterical moods.

Mother is the mirror through which I see myself prettier, smarter and better than I would perceive.

Mother is the one person who bets the highest on me, believes the most in me and pushes me to be my best and do my best.

Mother is the only one I expect to see when I hit rock bottom.

Mother is the reason I'm here, and the reason I want to prove myself; to myself, to her, and to the world.
