Just One by Chris Mardirossian

There’s only one here today that deserves all this.

There’s only one that motivates me every day to do my best.

There’s only one who thinks of others before she even considers herself.

There’s only one person who literally knows everything and everyone. Sometimes even before me.

There’s only one who has taught me right from wrong.

There’s only one who has truly sacrificed years of her life for the three of us.

There’s only one person whose birthday deserves to be celebrated more than a month later.

There’s only one person who deserves our time tonight.

There’s only one goodbye that will be the hardest to give when I leave for

college.

There’s only one who I will look forward to visiting when I’m in college.

There’s only one person who I call mom.

And that’s because there’s only one Christine
