As a little girl <br />I remember all I can <br />I do remember your guidance <br />With a mother's hand <br /> <br />You are to me <br />My building stone <br />The foundation from which <br />I'm centered on <br /> <br />I can't thank you enough <br />For the wisdom of <br />All you've taught me <br />Through Jesus love <br /> <br />We've had our differences <br />As mothers and daughters do <br />From which we've grown <br />Into to me and you <br /> <br />Now that I have daughters <br />I can understand <br />Wanting to protect them <br />With a mother's hand <br /> <br />As years go by <br />And the time we've had <br />I can't help but feel <br />My heart is sad <br /> <br />We're so far apart <br />Across this land <br />In silence I remember <br />Your mother's hand<br /><br />Lagaya Evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mother-s-hand/
