Mother

L OVE  is what I saw from
the moment you gave birth and
I lay my eyes on you

S upport is what I felt whenever
I fell down on life's path..only to
be picked up, wiped off, & sent
back on my way

C ared for because you showed me
how to be self sufficient and rise
to life's challenges..as you cheered
me on

N eeded..because I always had a true 
friend when no one else could be counted 
on..I could always count on you

A nd Now..you have ENTRUSTED
in me to guide my sister in the same
motherly way..And I won't let
you down...be good in heaven
