A Mother's Love

My child, As you climb Life’s journey To the best of my ability I will have your back And steady your ladder Always I will encourage you So whenever you look back You will see my smiling face Supporting and proud Cheering you on Unwavering I will be At the foot of your ladder Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~A CHILD'S WORLD~ 2020 AP: 1st place 2020 Submitted on April 23, 2019 for contest THE SMILE AT THE FOOT OF A LADDER sponsored by CRAIG CORNISH
