To My Mother ( By: Talia
Tyler)
To my mother, how I love
you dear
It’s hard to imagine life
without you here.
Throughout this life, hard
as it may be
There are some lessons I
took with me.
You taught me to laugh and
that it’s ok to cry
What you didn’t teach me is
how to say goodbye.
But don’t worry mom, I’ll
be ok
Because if I close my eyes
I can hear you say:
Be kind, give thanks, and
open the door
‘Cause you never know who
will need a kind gesture more.
Love your family and be a
good friend
Build relationships that
will last til the end.
Always be you, a daughter
of God
For you, a hard life, the
Savior did trod.
Every big moment I’ve
shared with you
School, marriage, and a
baby too.
But we both know it began
long before then
You were always at every
game to see me win.
Years full of dance
recitals, you came to them all
Because of your support I
never could fall.
When I needed a hug or a
listening year
You’d give me your
attention and draw me in near.
And don’t get me started on
holidays,
Oh how you spoiled us in so
many way.
From gifts, to cake, to a
text in the morning
You made every birthday
feel like I was soaring.
But here’s where I truly
saw everything you’d done,
When that morning in April
I welcomed a son.
I never understood what a
mother’s love meant
Until I held that little
boy that Heaven sent.
Motherhood is hard and yet,
you kept us alive
Some days I feel like I’ll
barely survive.
You opened my eyes to
unconditional love
And how important eternal
families are, here and above.
Of course I’m emotional,
heartbroken, and sad
But somehow there’s a part
of me that still feels glad.
Glad I was born to a
wonderful mother like you
Blessed to have this life I
was meant to go through.
Even though it feels like
we’re so far apart,
I still feel the spirit
warm and comfort my heart.
You taught me how to fight
to live a rich life
To continue smiling through
the grief and the strife.
Mom, what a selfless woman
you are
You taught me to always
reach for the stars.
Every part of life makes me
think of you
Because I love you so much
mother, I really do.
