A very expressive and uplifting poem Leanne, paving the way to self-empowerment. A mother's love is very creative and dynamic in that way.. Your poem is full of a mother's love, encouragement and recognition.. Beautiful!

Setting a great example to your daughter is the best gift you can give her... this poem is so empowering. I'm no mother but I try my best for my nieces and nephews. This shows how wonderful of a mother you are to your daughter. Thank you for sharing this, Leanne! Hugs and smiles :)

For GVLM: “A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." -The Last Seance (from The Hound of Death and Other Stories, also Double Sin and Other Stories)” Agatha Christie, The Hound of Death

Georgia has the gift too. One of her favourite authors is Agatha Christie, although, that is not her genre. :)

Thank you Silent. All my stories are for my daughter. Georgia, is the single most important person in my life next to my own mother, they are connected in a way, not just through blood, but through specific dates. Endings and Beginnings. I love her more than all the stars in the sky, all the pearls in the sea. Tomorrows are never guaranteed.x

"Find role models whom you identify with.Many women throughout the years have inspired me.Perhaps the one I identify with the most is Nely Galan. She was the first person I ever heard say, ‘be your own prince charming!’ I loved this because that is how I had felt my entire life. Find people whom you admire in your own communities and ask if they’ll act as your mentors. Mentors will be a key to your success because they can provide advice and knowledge based on their own trials and tribulations."
