When you were 8 years old,
your mom handed you an ice cream.
You thanked her by dripping it
all over your lap.
When you were 9 years old,
she paid for piano lessons.
You thanked her by never even
bothering to practice.
When you were 10 years old,
she drove you all day,
from soccer to footbal, to one birthday
party after another.
You thanked her by jumping out of the car
and never looking back.
When you were 11 years old,
she took you and your
friends to the movies.
You thanked her by
asking to sit in
a different row.
When you were 12 years old,
she warned you not
to watch certain TV shows.
You thanked her
by waiting until
she left the house.
When you were 13,
she suggested a haircut
that was becoming.
You thanked her by telling
her she had no taste.
When you were 14,
she paid for a month
away at summer camp.
You thanked her by
forgetting to write
a single letter.
When you were 15,
she came home from work,
looking for a hug.
You thanked her by
having your bedroom door locked.
When you were 16,
she taught you how
to drive her car.
You thanked her by taking it
every chance you could.
When you were 17,
she was expecting
an important call.
You thanked her by being
on the phone all night.
When you were 18,
she cried at your
high school graduation.
You thanked her by staying out
partying until dawn.
When you were 19,
she paid for your
college tuition,
drove you to campus carried your bags.
You thanked her by saying
good-bye outside the dorm
so you wouldn't be embarrassed
in front of your friends.
When you were 25,
she helped to pay
for your wedding, and she cried
and told you how deeply
she loved you.
You thanked her by moving
halfway across the country.
When you were 50,
she fell ill and needed you
to take care of her.
You thanked her by reading
about the burden parents become
to their children.
And then, one day, she quietly died.
And everything you never did
came crashing down like thunder
on YOUR HEART..
Let's not forget to thank our moms for everything she have done for us before it's too late.... :(
