For You, Dear Mother

In the quiet shadows of my youth,

I searched for love, I searched for truth.

Though you left me way too soon,

Your light still guides me, like the moon.

Eight years old, my heart was torn,

Left to face a world so worn.

With every step, I felt your trace,

A gentle whisper, a warm embrace.

Through the struggles and through the pain,

I learned to dance in the pouring rain.

Your lessons planted deep inside,

In your memory, I take pride.

I’ve grown, I’ve flown, I’ve seen the sun,

With every battle, I’ve finally won.

For you, dear mother, I carry on,

In my heart, you forever belong.

Late nights studying, dreams held tight,

Turning my scars into pure light.

Every triumph has your name,

In this journey, I've found my flame.

With every heartbeat, every smile,

I’ll make you proud, I’ll go the extra mile.

Building a life that you’d adore,

Through your love, I feel so much more.

I’ve grown, I’ve flown, I’ve seen the sun,

With every battle, I’ve finally won.

For you, dear mother, I carry on,

In my heart, you forever belong.

Though the years have come and gone,

In my soul, you are my song.

I rise from ashes, I rise so high,

With you beside me, I touch the sky.

I’ve grown, I’ve flown, I’ve seen the sun,

With every battle, I’ve finally won.

For you, dear mother, I carry on,

In my heart, you forever belong.

So here I stand, with dreams so bold,

You taught me love, you taught me gold.

With every step that I will take,

I’ll carry the love that you helped make.
