To my very special mother,
On her very special day,
I'm writing you this poem,
Since there are few things I mean to say,
Thanks for thinking I'm funny,
Even though I'm really not,
And although I hardly say it,
I love you a lot,
Thanks for taking me places,
I couldn't have gotten on my own,
And for always making our house,
Feel a lot more like a home,
Thanks for always being there,
To make sure I'm okay,
So I know that if I need you,
You're just a hug away,
Thanks for all the good times passed,
And the ones that are yet to come,
You can't choose who your family is,
But if it was something I could do,
I know if I could back now,
My choice would still be you.
