Momma

imagination and bouncing curls,
The little girl once on your lap,
Now resides in your heart.
I've traded my Barbies,
And now play house in reality.
I look at my little girls,
As you looked at me.
Such beauty and innocence,
In front of us.
You raised me to be strong,
And I am.
Your taught me wisdom,
And I've grown to learn it.
we've climbed mountains together,
As I will with them.
And I will watch with somber advice,
Them learn and grow.
We pray wiser,
Than we ourselves were.
This love,
Is unshakable.
This friendship,
Irreplaceable.
You are and always will be,
My momma.
I pray every day to leave a fullness,
In their hearts,
As you have mine.
The difference between then and now,
Is I see the world through your eyes.
The love and struggles that are motherhood,
And it is by far the hardest,
Most beautiful thing we could ever face.
