 Mom, I can't remember the exact moment that I met you for the first time, but it must have been wonderful to see the smile on your face and the love in your eyes.

 I especially love your blue eyes, Mom. They look at me with kindness when you hug me, become sad when I'm ill, and are full of smiles when I tell you that I love you.

 Mom, I love your kisses: the soft kiss that wakes me in the morning, the warm kiss at bed-time, and those extra large kisses that console me when I'm sad.

 I love your voice when you sing me sweet songs and tell me exciting stories. Mom, I love how you hold me ever so tightly and reassure me when I am frightened.

 You also prepare so many good things to eat. No one can cook lasagna the way that you do!
In short, Mom, I love everything about you.

 When we walk together along the streets in Atlanta, or you take me places, I am so happy that you are my Mom. You are the greatest!

 When you're with your friends or other family members, I watch as you chat and laugh with them. I think you're the best Mom of all!

 At times, you scold me and your face looks angry, but you are only trying to teach me what is right and wrong. I wouldn't change you for any other Mom in the world!

 I'd like to give you a beautiful and very special present; I'd like to give you a little bit of the sun to brighten up those days when you're sad.

 Mom, if I could ride on a star, I'd climb up into the sky and grab a piece of the moon to make you a dress of light. That way you'd become a princess, like the one in my book of fairytales. Even if, to tell the truth, you're already a princess to me!

 I'd like to pick the sweetest smelling flower for you; when you hold it, its perfume will always make you think of me.
Mom, I'd like to give you a special charm to make you forever appear as loving and beautiful as I see you.

 I'd like to give you a magic wand that would do all the daily chores for you. Then, you'd have more time to be with me.

 I'd like to give you an eraser to rub out the tiredness and worries that I sometimes see reflected on your face. Then, you could always be happy and smiling.

 Mom, I'd like to buy you the best treat in the world. I'd like to let you know just how sweet I think you are when you hug me, play with me, read me stories.
I'd like to give you your every wish!

 But the sun and the moon are too far away, and flowers wither quickly. Magic wands only exist in fairytales, and I'm afraid that my eraser is only good for rubbing out scribbles.
Even so, I know that a kiss and a very big "I love you, Mom!" can make you smile with happiness.

I don't know what any other
Mom is like,
but I know that you are
my Mom.
