Answer 1

**To My Mom**

In the warmth of morning,
her coffee brews,
a scent of roasted beans
hugs the air.

She wakes early,
even when the night’s sleep
was inadequate—
despite tired eyes,
she smiles.

Her hands, calloused from work,
create magic,
turning ordinary meals
into feasts,
with the sizzle of spices
dancing on the stove.

She listens,
as I talk about my day,
every word held like glass—
no error too little,
every story valued,
even the small ones.

In a world of contrast,
where kindness can fade,
her heart remains steady,
a lighthouse guiding me home.

Mom, your love is a river,
flowing endlessly,
and I am grateful,
for you.
