Dear Mom,

You've been around all my life,
You've been in sync all through,
You've been my guardian angel,
In times of sickness, you've held my hand,
You've been through sleepless nights, worrying about my health, my future,
You've been there to cheer me up, in times of low,
You've been there as a friend, when I had none,
You've been around writing my notes, I'd always been a slow coach in class,
You've been around pulling alnighters, reading out textbooks, I passed only because of you,
You've been around, telling me stories, stories about how to be careful in life, I don't like listening to those stories anymore,
You've been around, throwing sandals at me, when I'd go a little wayward and awry,
You've been around, kicking my ass when was lazy, I'm a kick ass person now,
You've been around, picking clothes for me,making me look good,
You've been around, listening to my stories even though they didn't make any sense,
You've been around, while I learn't,
You've been around, vouching for me,
You've been around, fighting the world for me, you're my gangster lady,
You've been around, while I was down,
You've been around, while I was shy, hiding behind them saaris of yours,
You've been around, playing along,
You've been around, watching me fail,
You've been around, watching me grow,
You've been around, wishing for the best,
You've been around, doing the best you can,
You've been around a long time now,
Thanks for being here for me and dad,
For being the woman you've been,
Thanks for being my main woman!
Happy bday!
