My mother is always with me.....
She's the whisper of the leaves,
as I walk down the street.....
She's the smell of bleach in my freshly laundered socks.
she's the cool hand on my brow when I am not well.
My mother lives inside my laughter.
She's crystallized in every tear drop.......
She's the place I came from,
my first home..........
She's the map I follow,
with every step that I take.
She's my first love and my first heartbreak,
and nothing on earth can seperate us.
Not time, Not space.....
Not even death......
will ever seperate me from my mother.
I carry her inside me.
I LOVE YOU MOM!
LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR DAUGHTER
