Poem
For mom on christmas day When I was a small child And the world was anew You held my hands tightly And my fears, they were few When I learned to crawl You showed me the floor You looked at me smiling Knowing soon I would soar When I learned to walk And I lost my stride You would pick me back up again Your hands were my guide You were such a good teacher You made learning easy for me You said "She's going to be so smart" Just you wait and see Walking me down the hall that day I had only you as my guide You told me to go and play with my class But I wouldn't leave your side In the midst of all this new confusion I must have felt so small But looking up, your eyes were scared too Your courage kept me tall Finally I learned to stay without you I learned crying wouldn't bring you back But unlike the rest of the kids at school Without you I was never on track Over the years I made it through school Graduation day finally came true Recieving my diploma all i could think Is I owed it all to daddy and you Since the day I was born You were always there for me I never had to listen to fighting Because you chose your words carefully When I was sick you were always there Wiping my tears away You cleaned every bump and scratch And you never missed a play Not every child is luck as me To have a female role model in their life Its one thing to be such a strong woman But I also watched you as a strong wife You and daddy have given me so much for my future My life is based on decisions you've made And every accomplishment I have received Is because of the foundations you've laid Your hands are so strong and so wise Ive watched them all these years They've pressed cold towels to my head And held me through laughter and tears For more than 23 years i've watched your hands give They have healed, they have baked, they have sewn And now as I wake and prepare for my day I see your hands and realize they're my own So mama on this miraculous day That we celebrate Jesus' birth I want to take the time to say How much I think your worth All this gratitude i'm giving May be way past due God may have all the angels in heaven But here on earth, mom I have you
