My mother
Who carried me for nine months in her womb
My mother
Who was there with me when I took my first step
My mother
Who cried for joy when I said my first word
My mother
Who took me to school for the very first time
My mother
Who sat down and listened patiently as I blurted out my little curiosities about life
My mother
Who stayed by my side all night and nursed me when I was sick
My mother
Who nurtured me as I grew into a young adult
My mother
The best in the whole wide world
