Everyday is a tribute

The Daily Tribute 

Today when I stood up and gave my seat to the woman carrying her baby..

I was tributing my mom. 

When I was walking with a female friend and walked on the side of the street closest to traffic..

I was tributing my mom. 

A few days ago when a stranger at the airport sneezed and I said “God Bless you”..

I was tributing my mom. 

That cold evening two months ago when I gave my sweater to the young lady I was with..

I was tributing my mom.

Everyday that I’m honest. 

I’m tributing my mom. 

Everyday I don’t steal. 

I’m tributing my mom. 

When I do my work the way it’s supposed to be done..

I’m tributing my mom. 

When I give 10% from every check..

I’m tributing my mom.

When I let women go first..

I’m tributing my mom. 

When I respect my elders..

I’m tributing my mom. 

When I say “please” and “thank you”..

I’m tributing my mom. 

Everyday that I write The Daily Tithe.

I’m tributing my mom.

Because everyday..

is a tribute to my mom.

My entire being..

is a tribute to my mom. 

And this..

This is a tribute to my mom.

Happy Mother’s Day.
