To Mamma
You held me gently on the day I took my first breath,
You held my hand when I walked my first step,
You held me close,when my tears would start to fall,
You held me to show, all of your care for me!
You helped me punctuate my words,
You guided me through right and wrong,
You helped bend me into all you knew I could be,
You comforted my hurts that never showed!
You are now wrinkling and I know it is your turn to be held by me,
Your hands are stumbling and need my touch,
You are the most beautiful woman I know,
And the reason I am me!
