Mom you are the best

Yes, I confess. I haven't been the world's best son lately, surely my mom deserves better. The sheer happiness in her voice when I wished her happy mother's day was heart wrenching. I resolve to be a better son to you.
I'm sorry amma I couldn't give you any gift or even come home early for holidays.

She sang me lullabies to put me to sleep
She gave me love, never let me weep
Hats off to you. For all its worth
I salute thee, the woman who gave me birth.

She kissed away my tears when I scraped my knees,
She told me bedtime stories and filled my heart with glee.
She bore me through all the pain. She is none other
than the woman I proudly call my mother.

I'm sorry for my tantrums that wore her patience lean,
I'm sorry for the stupid things I said but did not mean.
I love you. I don't know how to say it any other way,
Mom, Wish you a happy mother's day
