My Mother


It was not when I needed you that you gave me your hand --

you touched me in that special way when I was born.

 

It was not when I called you that you came --

you were standing next to me all the time.

 

It was not when I was down that you smiled --

you have always been the light in my life.

 

It was not when I thought I was alone that I looked to you --

you have always been my best friend,

 

and it will not be another day before I tell the world...
