something i wrote for my mom
I wish I was like my mother

I really do wish I was the mother type.
Strong and selfless, to give up things I need to make sure others have what they need and not think twice about it and not expect anything in return.

To put someone else above my feelings and needs,
to be able to truly accept people for who they are.
To have the strength to get up seven times in the middle of the night to comfort them and still drag yourself out of bed and make it into work

To find true happiness in just seeing a smile on their face
