A Poem For My Daughter on Mother's Day

There are days I look at you and all I see is me. 

There are days I look at you and all I see is you. 

There are days I look at you and nothing could ever give me the joy you give to me. 

There are days you hold me. 

There are days I hold you.

There are days we can’t let go. 

There are days I find me in you. 

There are days I need me, without you.

There are days I’m lost without you. 

Yet,

Each piece of me, is a piece of you. 

Each piece of you, is a piece of me. 

Pieces strong together from the very fibers of all that is us.

Learning the strands that bind us is the forever journey.

A path we’ll walk together forever as mother and daughter.
