I am my mother's daughter.....

Sitting here and thinking,
22 years have now gone by,
You have been by my side,
Every time I laughed and cried.

You were there to shelter me,
And to keep me from harms way,
You showed me right from wrong,
And knew exactly what to say.

When I made the wrong choices,
You never raised your hand,
Instead you talked and listened,
And you tried to understand.

You helped me fix my problems,
Without telling me what to do,
Imagine where Id be now,
If it hadn’t been for you!

You let me become who I am,
Without standing in my way,
You showed me love and guidance,
And helped me find my way.

I grew into a woman,
And I see who I’ve become,
I’m everything I am today,
Because you are my mama.



Thank you for you. I think that you are the most amazing woman I know, and would love to be just like you when Im your age. You have done an amazing job with everything, and deserve to be happy like no one else does. I am so proud of you, for everything you have done, for who you are, and for being strong. I love you.
