*My Mother*
My mother, Disguised as my best friend. I can rely on, trust, and share secrets with her. Just talking to her calms my soul. My mother, Standing behind the scenes. Her sense of humor and glowing personality Bring a smile to each face in her audience. My mother, Hidden beneath layers of generosity, Would give until there is no more to give. My mother, flying, trapped, Inside a tiny angel With wings that spread across the horizon. My guardian angel. Always watching over me. Protecting. My mother, Unbeknownst to her, teacher of all things. The lessons I've learned, Incomparable to those of any learned In the span of an educational career. Lessons on love. Lessons on life. My mother, Too great a human being to list what she encompasses, Is everything a woman should be, Everything I want to be. I proudly call you my mother, My best friend, my guardian angel, my teacher, my role model. And on your birthday, The day that celebrates you, I want to tell you that I wouldn't be the person I am without you. You've paved an extraordinary path to follow. And I only hope that you see What an extraordinary person you are. |
