You are my strength, you are my light.

I love you and cherish you with all of my might.

I now understand the challenges that have caused us pain,

Has made us stronger; we will never be the same.

You truly are my guardian and first love,

I know you were sent from the heavens above.

In my darkest hours you were always at my side,

You gave me hope when my soul wanted to hide.

My mother, my angel, my friend, and my home,

I love you more than you will ever know.
