I know a woman who is strong and beautiful,

Her hair is the color of the fire in her eyes,

Her smile has a heavenly glow,

And her voice is the sound of saccharine music,

She comforts people in their darkest moments,

Because she knows how it is to feel utterly alone,

She is kind to everyone despite how they treat her,

Because she knows that everyone deserves respect,

She puts her children's happiness before her own,

Because her parents never did,

She loves her spouse despite his flaws,

Because she knows that no one is perfect,

She is grateful for everything that she has,

Because she knows that no matter what, it’s something,

This woman raised me,

And for that, I am the luckiest girl alive.
