Dear mother - this loving ode is for you

To relate to your ears how my heart feels

An attempt to convey the gratitude

Regular conversation might conceal

I'm convinced without possible question

No daughter could be as lucky as I

Your loyalty shone through your depression

You've always been there, my faithful ally

My sister and I, how lucky we are

To be so well loved without condition

And many thanks can only go so far

For all the time you spent in the kitchen

So mother this is your dedication:

My appreciation for all you've done

"I love you" expresses adoration

In this loving ode I've barely begun.
