Inner Reflections

 

The greatest gift of man

Can not be done by man

Though you were only movement

I knew I loved you that very moment

 

 

I sung to you every chance I could

I ate the foods I should

 

 

I read to you

I loved you

I nurtured you

I carried you

 

 

You grew in me

A life I could not see

When I gave birth tears fell from eye

To hear your very first cry

 

 

And every year I remember that day

And in my heart you will forever stay

 

 

And every night for you I pray

Did you know on mother's day?

It's not me I think of but you

Especially when I don't hear from you

 

 

When my mailbox is empty and bare

I wonder if you still care

As I did and still do

I will always love you

 

 

Because you're the gift giving to me

And I will be here -- I am your mommy
