Mother to daughter, mother to mother <br />A greater love, there is no other. <br />You looked towards me for your guidance and my love <br />But this was given to both of us <br />From the lord up above. <br />I protected and sheltered you the best that I could. <br />And you followed the same road that we all take <br />We did not stop or hesitate. <br />A mother is not one who just gives birth <br />But one who shows her worth. <br /> <br />I was her mother, she was my daughter <br />Everything according to GODS order. <br />I raised mine, she raised her own. <br />But the love we had was always shown. <br />She was like the sun bringing light into this world <br />For she was my little girl. <br />She was like the sun radiating beauty from <br />The inside out, of that I have no doubt. <br />As the sun brings a smile to your face <br />And leaves you with a glow inside. <br />She could do this, and that’s no lie. <br />She created life, and loved them with such tender care <br />And the joys and sorrows, with them she’d share. <br />She loved and honored her children in every way she could <br />And raised them the way a mother should. <br />She was closer to me, more than anyone could ever know <br />And put in me a strength that would grow. <br />When it was the time for the LORD to take her away <br />And I’m sure that she wanted to stay. <br />She gave her soul to our lord above <br />But left us with an enduring love. <br />So to my daughter I say to you, I loved you at your birth <br />And I loved you till the end, for you was <br />not only my daughter, but my friend. <br />mother to mother, I thank you with all my heart and soul <br />For you left me with beautiful children for me to hold.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-to-mother/
