From mother to child

In all of my life I have known,

how much I wanted to be like my mom.

There with a heart of gold,

when all was meant to be hard.

In you I have new reasons to be,

in all that you my child need.

I love you for who you are,

my baby in my heart you will always be.

No wrong done cannot be undone,

in my eyes you are my light.

I will be there through all of your tears,

as pain becomes apparent to your life.

In your heart feelings may be hurt,

but I will never go to sleep in anger.

When you fall asleep I am holding you close,

through the nightmares you see and wake from.

As the years go by you will come to feel my love,

and know how much you have always been to me.

I remember your baths when I washed your hair,

making a mess for me to clean up again.

Also I recall the beauty in your eyes,

when you look into me needing my touch.

In all of the times when things were tough,

I find the perfection in the mistakes we made.

I will hold you up when you always fall down,

mend your wounds with a kiss from my love.

I am now and will always be your mom,

as my child I will never let you go.

Tonight I pray for your sleep to be sweet,

my precious little angel, mommy loves you so much.
