Mom, Here's An Ode To You
Hope's Door Inc.

Mothers are interesting. They are key pieces to life. They are the glue that holds families together. They are the building blocks that lay down the foundations. They are the rules because they make the rules. "Don't stand up on my couch." "Don't run or horse-play in the house." "Wash your hands before you eat." Because of their worth, Mother's Day had to be created. It is only right to thank them and reflect on how much of a difference that mothers have made in various lives. For my mom, I decided to dedicate an ode to you.

"Poems like this you can’t directly explain
Why a mother like you always reign
You do so much and hardly complain
I hate see your Mother’s Day so original and plain
So in the future just take a trip to Spain

If I could I would write you a book
Or create a painting without a look
You asked for a special ingredient for you to cook
Gave you two choices: my love or a hook
And my love is what you took

Votes against my maturity wouldn’t cast
I grew up on you so fast
That you still treat me like the past
I’m sorry the baby boy in me isn’t vast
But my love for you will always last

Every day I’m wiser as you can see
You helped me flow smooth like the sea
And fly freely like a bird and a bee
Times may be hard so just let me be
But no matter what never stop loving me

Now that your baby boy has grown up, too
I became less dependent on you
But caring for me is all you know to do
You remind me to never bite off more than I can chew
So Happy Mother's Day; I will always love you"

Mom, you are an extraordinary superhero. Your heart is always set on helping someone. You bend over backwards to help other mothers raise their children. You become a mother to the motherless. Honestly, I used to be jealous when I saw other kids getting your attention. Now, I am thankful that they were able to receive and witness the love of wonderful mother like you.

"Sometimes words can be broken
Even for someone who is outspoken
Especially in times when people haven’t spoken
So let these words be the voice of the unspoken
And let this poem be your token

We didn’t really understand each other years ago
So our connection was growing slow
You kept trying to go with the flow
In the end you made my days sparkle and glow
Now you can have the spotlight to my show

A mother like you is ultra rare
Because you treat me with all your care
When heaven’s lights shine with a flare
You’re just like a prayer
So I want you to take me there

We all know that life goes on
But without you my life is gone
You’re sweet like a pie made with pecan
I need you like the pillow I sleep upon
So as my life progress you won’t be withdrawn

When times get hard you don’t look down or the other way
I admire how you spend time to kneel and pray
You’re more amazing than a Shakespeare play
If I could I would award you with a bouquet
So thanks again for everything and Happy Mother’s Day"

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
