Who were you

before the first snow fell?

 

You were a

woman,

a daughter,

a sister

 

What were you

before the first flower bloomed?

 

You were a

student,

a worker,

a friend

 

And then you became a mother

You were all these things,

but most importantly you became a

mother,

my mother,

our mother

 

You gave us everything

You still do

 

Because no matter what you were

no matter what you have or may become

you will always be

Mom
