This book is my effort to express my gratitude and admiration for my mother, my creator, my first teacher, and my forever support. I am, what I am, because of her tireless efforts to give me deep roots and strong wings.

Every poem in this book is a reflection of her love, strength, and unwavering belief in me. This is my way of saying thank youto the woman who shaped my world with endless love and resilience.
