My nickname was 'umbilical cord' <br />because my mom and I were so tight. <br />Those who knew this woman <br />would understand why, this lady was dynamite! <br /> She was an amazing person <br /> with a heart of pure gold, although, <br />she would tell you off in a minute...she was just THAT bold! <br />Witty and cunning <br />was always her demeanor. <br />For those unfortunate enough <br />not to have known her, wish you could have seen her. <br /> The nickname 'umbilical cord' <br />was givin to me as an insult, <br />with the intent to hurt <br />until I realized the blessing, as the result. <br /> Inseperable is what we'll always be <br />through our virtual 'umbilical cord'. <br /> Severing that umbilical cord <br />isn't something my heart can afford. <br /> So thanks for the insult <br />turned inside out <br />because loving a precious mom <br />is what it's all about!<br /><br />cecelia warner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/umbilical-cord-and-mom/
