She chose us first

In the world of shining WhatsApp status,

My mother chose silence…

Because her love never needed attention.

In the world of self-love,

She chose her children first—

Every single time.

She forgot her own dreams

While building ours with tired hands and sleepless nights.

People search for sweetness

In red velvet and black currant,

But I found the purest comfort

In my mother’s simple vanilla heart.

Soft…Calm…. Unnoticed by the world—

Yet the sweetest part of my life.

She wore pain like jewelry

And sacrifice like habit.

She smiled even when life broke her quietly,

Just so her children could believe

Everything was okay.

My mother is not made of luxury or perfection.

She is made of patience, prayers, and endless love.

And maybe that’s why…

No matter how beautiful this world becomes,

Nothing will ever taste sweeter

Than the love of my mother.
