You to Me

She knows me more
Than I myself
Before my memory
Could serve
There to protect
Guiding my small hand
To hers
She lifted me to seek
No limitations
Exploring life’s potential
Rising to find strength
Of independence

Pushing her away
Disregarding her potentials
Judge not the past
As it has created the future
She resides as the sounding board
Of my heart
Wholly supportive
In each new feat
She holds the secrets
Of which I keep
Replace, no one can

For she is my beloved mother
