Analysis of My Dear Mother
My mom is such a special woman.
Unique, talented, loving, and pure.
She reminds me of a sprig of fresh babies breath.
Inspiring me, supporting me, unconditionally for sure.
My admiration for her runs deep in my heart.
Striving to follow her example each day.
For although it took awhile I now realize.
A mother's love is so powerful; and never goes away.
I am a mother now myself; with two daughter's to love.
The desire in me striving to do things just right.
Knowing I can count on my mom's guidance and wisdom.
Constantly reassures me every day I just might.
You see I love my mother more than words can say.
Her love for me; and mine for her; will never go away.
