Your name means “Tower”.
This is what you have always been.
A tower of strength, a tower of refuge.
When I need someone to steady me, you were there.
When I need someone to run to, you were there.
You were my quiet strength that never wavered.
You have taught me to love graciously, give generously.
You have taught me the importance of hard work and great sacrifice.
You have taught me to trust in God as my source of strength.
You allowed me to grow and discover my own strength.
Though we are different we are not so different.
I bear your name as well.
Thank you for being my unwavering, steady tower.
For loving and giving of yourself, generously, graciously.
I am Grateful for you. Happy Mother’s Day!
I love you, Mom.
