| for Debby - Mother Extraordinaire |
In Her Footsteps
my mother no longer lives on earth
she died and left me behind
to witness and attest
that an angel gave me birth
her love and laughter reach out
through the years
her teachings and example help me
through the tears
mothers are extraordinary
we question them
argue with them
rebel against them
until one day
we open our eyes
and see them
for the first time
we recognize the treasure
behold the developed wisdom
admit our failure to love
and move forward
working to show the love
bursting from
our over-flowing
hearts
before time runs out
each day I live
to show the world
that my mom
was extraordinary
by following
in her footsteps
living
teaching
loving
What a beautiful tribute to your sweet mom!! Hope you are also having a fabulous day! Happy Mothers Day!! =)
