I look at you <br />Still a beautiful woman <br />but life has written <br />its complex lessons <br />upon your face <br />So different <br />and yet so much alike <br />In class, in pride in stubborn stride <br />You taught me how to fight <br />the difference between wrong and right <br />They always said I looked like you <br />And now that I'm older I see it too <br />I have your hazel eyes <br />Your intuition <br />the love in your heart <br />your strength, your vision <br />And now in these Autumn years <br />Through loss and nights of endless tears <br />The times I missed you, the wasted years <br />I just need to say <br />on this Mother's Day <br />That you are my inspiration<br /><br />chantelle ribeiro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mother-s-day-poem-2-2/
