For My Mom


You
held my hands to
keep them warm,
counted my toes
when I was small
taught me how to tie my shoes
patched up scrapes
mended bones
helped me learn
confidence
to stand up tall-
wisdom in the
simple things.
laughter strong and
oh so sweet-
thanks for living
Life
as my Mom
so I want to
Be
just
like
You.
