To my Mother, for all she did and still does.

Mother's Day

  I can't recall
When we first met
You were always there.

I was fed
By only your hand
You watched my body grow.

I heard your voice
As you talked to me
You brought comfort at night.

I heard your songs
Of love sincere
You gave to me safe sleep.

I knew somehow
Part of me was you
You were my friend and more.

I was thrown
From my perfect world
You were there with me.

I saw bright lights
Felt cold hands
You soothed my terrified soul.

I was then placed
Safely upon your breast
You I love, my only Mother.
