​Though not born of blood, our hearts beat for daughter and mother each,
Your voice is of kindness and love, even when mine is upset.
I worry about the future –one you’re already living to teach.
You guide me in truth and love, since the day we first met.
I wonder daily what I’ve done to deserve your affection;
For I know now what is like to have met your idol,
To know your hero’s love and to share a connection.
I care for you deeply, for your presence in my life has become vital.
To lose a mother like you, would be to make me forever lost.
Your love, forever pure and always cherished, by a force greater than this earth,
Will always be my way from darkness and paths unwantedly crossed.
Sent to me as an angel, I thank God for a second chance and all it’s worth.
Every day, my gratitude strengthens with wisdom and guidance,
From my mama I was given love that will never fall to subsidence.
