For My Mom

Thank you for always being there,
for every smile and fear;

Thank you for taking me to plays and concerts
and exploring the beach and nature center;

Thank you for showing me how to balance my checkbook
and how to handle a compliment or a dirty look

Thank you for teaching me to work hard
and that it leads to playing harder;

thank you for the love and laughter 
I am proud to be your daughter
