“I Am My Mother”
I am my mother
She’s a part of me
My courageous spirit
The best I can be
She traveled a twisted, rocky road.
No loving spouse to lighten the load.
In a concrete city with skies of gray
Three hungry mouths to feed each day
She did her best, the best she could.
Sometimes wrong, sometimes times good.
She never gave up, never gave in.
Her spirit burns from deep within.
Her inner strength is beyond compare
Passed to me so that I could dare
To explore new worlds
Be unafraid
To search for a sunset
That will never fade
I am my mother.
She’s a part of me.
My courageous spirit
Is the best I can be.
