\nSpecial to the Saipan Tribune<\/em><\/p>\n
\nLove is not a victory just to have someone next to you.
\nOne needs a mother\u2019s touch before one can feel happiness.
\nA child needs a mother\u2019s gentle voice, a gentle hand, before they know who they are.
\nA mother needs a child before she knows who she is.<\/p>\n
\nMy mother is the one tree that survived the fire.
\nI am the flower surrounded by fire.
\nMy mother stays and does not flee.
\nMy mother chases away my worries.
\nShe helps me feel happiness and joy.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-Words-pix-200x300.jpg\")
\nSpecial to the Saipan Tribune<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI just want to say PLEASE take a break from what you are doing because you have done so much already.
\nTHANK YOU for caring for me even though I was crying. Even when I was happy you were there next to me.
\nYou have always WELCOMED me with you warm heart.
\nI love you Mom.<\/p>\n
\nSpecial to the Saipan Tribune<\/em><\/p>\n
\nGuiding me as I take my first walk
\nYou smiled and encouraged me
\nAnd I did what you told me so<\/p>\n
\nAnd you missed a ton of stuff as you watched me grow
\nYour old clothes couldn\u2019t fit you anymore
\nAnd you miss hanging out with your friends<\/p>\n
\nBut father have always say you had a smile on your face
\nYou took care of me and gave me hope
\nI\u2019m myself today because of you<\/p>\n
\nWe fought a lot
\nOnce I told you that I hated you
\nI regretted it as soon as I slammed the door<\/p>\n
\nBut I swallowed my pride and left you there alone<\/p>\n
\nTelling me everything\u2019s going to be fine
\nI cried more and I told you I didn\u2019t mean anything that I\u2019ve said
\nYou smiled and kissed me on my cheek<\/p>\n
\nBut I want to tell you that I love you
\nHappy Mother\u2019s Day
\nAnd thank you, Mama<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/My-Best-Friend-pix-200x300.jpg\")
\nSpecial to the Saipan Tribune<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWithout her I\u2019m not whole.
\nShe makes the rainiest days into the brightest days.
\nShe cares for me and loves me like the kind of love you need.
\nShe is my mom. She is my best friend.
\nI love you Mom.<\/p>\n
