You laughed as you threw your body forward,
I noticed the lines on your eyes,
You had streaks of meteor shower painted onto your face.
And your had a smile that was hooked unto my every cold memories,
You radiated warmth unto every frozen corner of my heart,
And just for an instant,
Every twilight seemed to illuminate onto you,
As though every breath of your laughter broke the winter night,
And I knew I was dazed in your smile.


The echoes of your voice somehow resonated into the memories we had in the hot summer night,
When we silently watched the fireworks blasted off to palettes of rainbow on the twinkling night sky,
And as the gentle breeze caressed your wavy hair,
It blew in your lavender shampoo fragrance,
At that very moment,
I thought you were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen,
And I wanted to grow up to be just like you.


I always knew whenever I was sick,
You'll brew the best chicken soup ever.
I would slurp down every bit of the chicken soup,
As you exhaled your worries so endearing.
You never noticed the scorching pain on your wrist where you burnt yourself,
Or how your hands were always covered with constellations of wounds and scars,
As though you had a galaxy of bitter past seared unto your skin.


You never realised how I looked at you as though you were the delicate whimsical flower,
Bright and cheerful,
Yet deep down in the roots beneath layers of rocks and sand,
There were always secrets you buried,
Always the fragility that made you broke down at night.
I knew every bleeding wound on your bruised heart,
Every excruciating pain on your mind that reminded you of every mistake you made,
And you should know that I could give up my universe,
Just to see your gentle crescent smile again.

-A Daughter's Voice
A little scribble I wrote for my mum. She's so beautiful that I couldn't even begin to describe it. 

Thank you for reading it though, have a lovely day. :huggle:

Happy Mother's Day!
