Homage to Our Mothers
What a beauty – the words that reached us from our mothers' tongues
When our moms where alive, they would say to us so many beautiful words.
Today we are missing those words, “my dear, my son, my sweet, my beauty,
There are the women, who have more merit than anyone else
If I may say the following words to all the mothers of the world
You are our backbones; you are our closest and our friends
You filled us with your love, through your milk that we drank
Since our first age, your word “God bless you, my son”
These words were expressed naturally, without hesitation
With such a loving voice, no one could resist such beautiful words
You played an important and determinant role in our character formation
You knew to teach us the love and respect of our father and the elderly people
By this you prepared us to treat our wives with respect and with love
You taught us to respect the neighbors and you used to tell us
“Love your neighbors, as they are closer than your faraway brothers”
You are the ones who softened our juvenile impulsions and taught us
To be patient with ourselves and others. With your example and behaviors
You had us committed to a healthy, simple, clear and limpid life
You taught us that only the heart and the positive actions count
These are the beautiful and marvelous words that we learned from you
“Calm”, “patience”, “serenity”, to ask to be excused if we made a mistake
These are the worlds of life for love and for peace
You are our Hollywood celebrities and our First Ladies

Your homage reminds me very much of her and all she has done for me, mostly by letting me be responsible for my actions and not standing in the way. A wonderful tribute.
