mom
you carried me
before birth
while growing
through living
you gave me
hopes and dreams
fairy tales and fantasies
life
you healed me
my hurts when i was little
my heart as i grew
my spirit whnever it was in need
you nurtured me
through all my childhood illnesses
through all my growing pains
through all life's ups and downs
you taught me
about being a woman
about family and friends
about love and life
you were there for me
whatever i needed you for
however i needed you
whenever i needed you
you loved me
no matter what i did
without reservation
unconditionally
you are with me
then
now
forever
in my heart
loving
you always and all ways
your
'little girl'
