Dear Mom,
I'm writing this letter because you're my guiding star,
My rock, my shelter, no matter how near or far.
As your daughter, I'm asking for a little bit of your time,
To sit down together and let our hearts freely chime.
I know life gets busy, and the days fly by,
But there's something important I need to clarify.
I'm asking for your ear, your undivided attention,
To share my newest dreams and quench my thirst for solution.
Mom, the emotion that fills my heart right now,
Is a fiery mix of love and admiration, somehow.
You've always been there, through thick and thin,
And I know you'll support me as I embark on this new spin.
I'm asking for your guidance, your wise words of advice,
As I navigate this path filled with choices so precise.
Your unwavering love has always been my saving grace,
And I trust that you'll help me find my rightful place.
So, let's sit down together and talk as we used to,
Pouring out our hearts with feelings pure and true.
You are the core of my strength, the one who believes,
And your support is all I need to help me achieve.
Thank you for being my pillar, my greatest confidante,
I know together we can conquer any challenge we confront.
With all the love in my heart, I ask for your presence,
And I'll cherish every moment, as we build our eternal essence.
Yours always,
[Your Name]
