From the first breath <br />as a little child, <br />all i have ever known <br />has been you <br />mother. <br /> <br />From the first sound, <br />as a syllable, <br />all of it, <br />spoken <br />by you <br />mother. <br /> <br />Every movement, <br />thought, <br />and morality, <br />all lessons learned <br />from you <br />mother. <br /> <br />Who I am, <br />who I will be, <br />my tone, <br />control <br />and humility, <br /> <br />inherent traits <br />of you <br />mother. <br /> <br />Even as a teen, <br />rebelling <br />against the strength <br />of your guidance, <br /> <br />I still knew <br />no finer woman <br />than you <br />mother. <br /> <br />Forgiving by nature, <br />love <br />unconditional, <br /> <br />never for granted, <br />you as <br />my mother. <br /> <br />You are who i am, <br />as i am who you are, <br />as my children will be me, <br />and in them will be you. <br /> <br />You mother. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright (c) David DeSantis<br /><br />David DeSantis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-151/
