Love Poem: Mother

Mother

First, you were a stranger to me
You whispered words that kept me safe
You gave me confidence
You made me strong
You stayed by my side
You protected me
You loved me
You supported me
You made me whole
You held my hands when times were rough
You cuddled me when I was scared
You provided me with warmth
You taught me life mysteries
You gave me the key to my own destiny
You made me the keeper of my own choices
Mother dear now that I am older
You are no longer that stranger to me
You are that friend I can count on 'I love you'.
