some gifts our mothers gave us we seem sometimes to forget not the teachings of how to be kind or safe not even the gift of love that... we don't usually mistake though quite important not her wise advice not her bedtime kisses or soft lullabies all these we usually give much sway rightly so we should be thankful each day but... I wonder if when you look in the mirror do you see her within is she in your eyes or your smile do you have the same shade of skin did she give you her sense of humor did she give you her laugh or her voice do you see her hands when you look at your own of course, for these she had no choice still... how you walk stand or sit your height and your size your color of hair your color of eyes all these and more she gave you by being a lover or wife and giving to you the greatest gift the amazing gift of life.

All That She Gave You
some gifts our mothers gave us we seem sometimes to forget not the teachings of how to be kind or safe not even the gift of love that... we don't usually mistake though quite important not her wise advice not her bedtime kisses or soft lullabies all these we usually give much sway rightly so we should be thankful each day but... I wonder if when you look in the mirror do you see her within is she in your eyes or your smile do you have the same shade of skin did she give you her sense of humor did she give you her laugh or her voice do you see her hands when you look at your own of course, for these she had no choice still... how you walk stand or sit your height and your size your color of hair your color of eyes all these and more she gave you by being a lover or wife and giving to you the greatest gift the amazing gift of life.
My mother's been gone many years, but every once in awhile I catch myself using an expression of hers, seeing her hands or some other feature in myself. I think maybe these are the things one ponders more when their mother is no longer alive. Happy Mothers' Day, Mom!
