Mother
You were my first love
You were my breath, my oxygen
You gave me life
Inside of you
You were my first home
The first to nurture me
With your blood and your love
You fed me
Always there, the one I could rely on
Scraped knees, red owies, you tended me
With butterfly Band-Aids and magic kisses
To make the pain go away
There for all my firsts
First steps, first words, first day of school
First love and first heart break
When you cried with me
You called me sweetheart
You said I was beautiful
You said I was precious
You said I belonged to you
I want you to know
That I will be there
That I know one day it will be my turn
To be there for you
Take your hand across the street
Caress your grey hair and your cheek
Dress and feed you too
Just like you did for me
I will tell you that you are beautiful
More than precious to me
That I love you so
You are the best part of me
And when that saddest time comes
And I must say goodbye to you
I will refuse to do so
I just will not let you go
I was a part of you
I lived in you
We will share a heartbeat again
When you live in me
