From your daughter with love

As your baby girl,
I loved you
with no questions,
no explaining,
I just knew you made me giggle--
you were super entertaining!
I just knew
you brought me comfort
and you made me feel secure
and that all my little "tantrums"
you so patiently endured.
As I grew a little older,
I discovered just how caring,
just how giving
you had always been,
you knew the art of sharing...
and you gracefully accepted
all the ups and downs that came
with raising someone just like me--
(I wasn't always tame!)

Then I grew into adulthood,
and I found out something new--
you weren't just my
"perfect" mother,
but a friend forever, too...
and I'm lucky that I have you--
since I know I'd never find
another mother who is better
than the mother
who is mine!

Happy
Mother's Day
