Made of you

I am made by the traits you gave to me – 
Creating a person happy to know.
Independence and strength and loyalty,
Come from my mother who did truly show

There is importance to education,
And you made sure to provide me the best. 
Creating in me a strong foundation
And for that I will be forever blessed.

You taught me how to be caring and bold,
As well as how to be a good mother.
Unconditional love never gets old – 
Even my siblings support each other.

And so I watch these traits in my children,
and in their babes, again it is written.
