We all come from the same beginnings
cradled in our mothers loving arms
warm and safe
filled with her voice telling
us what wonderful lives await...

As we ran into our growing years
she ran just behind guiding teaching
believing in us even when we didn't
and whenever the world seemed against us
it was her trusted hand that rescue us...

We became young men and women
so eager to strike out on our own
without seeing that we needed her
more than ever in our teenage lives
boldly we strutted on the stage of life
to stumble and fall.
It was the life lessons that she taught us
that we reached for.
It was her everlasting light in our eyes
that kept us standing up and trying again.

Now as we grow old,
we reflect on what it means
to actually be a parent,
to guide our children.
It is her life lessons
and her everlasting light in our eyes
the legacy of love passed one generation
to the next.


Thanks for reading.
