Mom

I promise to save up for the future,

So that I won’t have to sell my wedding ring.

I promise to take calcium when I’m forty,

So that my back and legs will remain strong.

I promise to always make time for myself,

So that I won’t neglect my own happiness.

I promise to be the woman that you are,

Even though I know I can only be half as good.

Know that your sacrifices will not go in vain.
