Adult Holding Child’s Hand by phanlop88/FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Always there …

my cushion,

an unfailing support system.

Even when the mistakes

are mine alone

she proffers tissues

to soak my tears,

bears outstretched arms

to catch my fall,

listens to my woes,

shares in my joys,

encourages me with my vision,

believes in me

when no-one else will.

I aspire to be as good a person

as she …

as dedicated.

Such an amazing human being,

my friend:

my Mother.
