Mommy Dearest...

"This poem was a gentle thank you to my kind and loving mother, whose warmth and love guides me on a daily basis. Every day can be a stressful experience when you have children, you can either take that out on them or live with it and face the stress after they have gone to bed. I wrote this poem thinking of my mother's love and how easy she made it on us, it was the nearest I could come to expressing my feelings to her."

I look back on these years, to see how far I've come and grown,
I take a trip down memory lane, and what I see has shown ...
That every step I've taken, you have been there by my side ...
From infancy to adulthood, we've stood the test of time.
You cradled me and nurtured me, through all these many years;
You held me and did comfort me,through happiness and tears.
You'd pick me up when I would fall, you'd dust me off and then,
Encourage me to get back on that horse and ride again.
Your constant care and loving, and your warm inviting heart,
Has always been a treasure thatI knew would n'er depart.
If I could be "just half" the person you have been to me ...
Then you have taught me well dear mom, for in my heart I see ...
A woman whose most gentle soul, embraces me each day ...
A woman whom I dearly love, much more than words can say
