All She Has Done For You

Brought into this world,
out from her womb, you then came.
Held within, her loving arms,
realizing her life, wouldn't be the same.

For when, you were a baby, 
with such tiny hands, and tiny feet.
For your needs, she would quickly respond,
and ever since, never able, to take a seat.

During the time, you were a child,
with a body, stretching, out to grow.
She made sure that for you, she was there,
of the wonders, out there, she then, let you know.

Upon the year, when you were a teen,
with raging hormones, going every, which way.
She reminds you of her past time, of herself,
advising you, to stay yourself, without delay.

Finally in due time, when now, you're an adult,
you embrace the fact, from her grasp, your now free.
But remember that now she's old, she loved you so, 
and dedicated, her life, so you can, then truthfully be.
