Mom Now That I Am Older

 As I look back over the years,
I begin to understand.
All my life, you have loved me,
Only as a Mother can,
 
I see the love that surrounded,
The countless sleepless nights,
The scraped knees and hurt feelings,
Your hugs and kisses magically made right.
 
Your sound advice and guidance,
When I really needed you.
And happy days spent together,
Talking and laughing as we do.
 
The many times you went without,
To build a better life for me.
Your endless love has made a difference,
In who I’ve come to be.
 
Mom, your love has come full circle,
As I now love and honor you,
You are always in my heart,
For all you are and all you do.
