Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition
To you, the one who feeds,
Not only my hunger, but my heart.
To you, the one who needs,
Nothing, but for us never to drift apart.
To you, for whom my heart bleeds,
The love that you impart.
The day I'm truly able to thank you,
It certainly won't be with a card.
It may be with a new house,
Or a lustrous brand new car.
Whatever it is, you deserve it,
Since greed has never been on your radar.
I promise to you this,
Because a truly great mother, you are.
