A Little Appreciation.

All my life I've been searching

For the answer to a query

One so simple yet mind-boggling

Even the most intelligent made weary

I looked far and I looked low

I travelled and travelled many a mile

Everywhere and anywhere I did go

But my efforts were futile

Isn't money the answer, they ask

Gold, diamonds, necklaces and rings

If so, that is quite simple a task

With riches one can buy such fancy things

So if one was wealthy

And successful, we may attest

One could love her exceptionally

At least, better than the rest

Surrounded by luxury

Proves a comfort indeed

But are you sure, surely

These things fulfill her needs?

Those sparkling gems are definitely not you

And neither are the gold or silver

It is a fact proven, you know it's true

Big houses, empty, only get lonelier

With that, I figured it out

I knew exactly what I had to do

I knew then, without a single doubt

I was home before a cow could say "moo"

I found her and hugged her

Shared with her things that I found

Told her stories, and jokes that were better

Her smile is one of the best things around

Another thing about smiles

Is that they show me someone's happy

Which makes everything worthwhile

And my hard work not so crappy

In conclusion to this story

What is the perfect gift for Mother's Day?

(If you find me corny I'm awfully sorry)

It's "I love you," that's all I can say.

Okay, it's late beyond late, and I'm seriously sleepy and my brain doesn't function as well at this hour, but I wanted to get this written and posted before my mum wakes up today.

P.S. "I don't believe in "Mother's Day". When I say that, people assume I don't appreciate my mother. But I do. I just think, after all they've done for us, expressing love to your mother shouldn't be limited to a single day. Every moment of our lives should be "Mother's Day". If we've managed to come this far, we at least owe them that much.
