Thank You Notes
For My Mom
A gratitude poem to celebrate Mother’s Day

Growing up in difficult circumstances was not easy, but love made all the difference and I received that in abundance from my mom.
Reach for the sky, Vidya, she always said — and I did because I trusted her implicitly.
Attitude will be your best friend and make sure it is positive and proactive, she said — and I listened.
Truth usually triumphs, but don’t be impatient if it doesn’t because if nothing else, it will bring you peace, especially when you speak up, she said — and I engraved it on my brain.
Intuition will guide you if you open your heart and listen to it, she said — and I listened to her.
Take things with a pinch Of salt and don’t jump to conclusions, she said — and I made it a practice, a habit.
Universe is always listening and is eager to help you achieve what you aspire for, she said — and I have learned she was right.
Dream big, you’ll be surprised what you can do when you focus on the good and work hard, she said — and I followed her advice as best as I could.
Encouragement was all I needed to bloom and give the world my heart — and today, I enjoy collecting smiles.
❤
A very happy Mother’s Day to you all!
