Happy Mother's Day!

A mother is someone who loves you
Who cares for you in every way
She sits down and listens
to what you have to say
She always thinks your beautiful
Never puts you down
She always has a smile
To wipe away your frown
A mother is someone who believes in you
Always pushes you to go far
Tells you to believe in yourself
No matter who you are
A mother is like an angel
Although without the wings
She tells you to enjoy
Life's most smallest things

Commuove
Italian verb /cum-oo-O-veh/

     1. To move one emotionally

     2. To effect

Commuovere is a word usually lost in translation that comes close to meaning “heartwarming,” but in the sense that it directly relates to a story that has touched one so deeply that it has moved one to affectionate tears.

La tua passione mi commuove profondamente.Your passion effects me deeply.
