No Matter What...

No matter how many times she shouted at me,

I still spoke to her gently with love.


No matter how many times she hit,

I still had the strength to say "I Love You." to her.


No matter how much pain she caused me,

I still had the courage to make her happy and laugh.


No matter how many times she wiped

the smile off my faceby her harsh words,

I still looked in her in the eyes and make her smile.


No matter how many times she pushed me away,

I still held onto her tightly.


No matter how many times she said:

"I wish you were never born!",

I still thank her for giving me life and will

always love her as my mother...

No matter what...
