To My Mommy

Mom,

You have been my strength since the day that I was just a heartbeat in your stomach. My life is full of memories with you that no one can replace. No matter what I've done you were always the first person standing there to pick me up and dust me off. I don't even think I can even explain how you made moments in time seem to stop while you made everything right again. I owe all of my compassion and love to you. My whole life no one understood me quite like you, I can only hope that someday I will be half of the mother that you are. I'm sure that I'm speaking for the whole family when I say that without your love, tenderness, beauty and strength I wouldn't be nearly the person I am today. I can't wait to see what wonderful times that you will now have with my child. I'm sure that one of the first things I will tell him is how lucky he is to be a part of this family. I love you mommy!

I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart.
I am never without it.
Anywhere I go you go, My dear: and whatever is done by only me is your doing, My darling.
I Fear no fate for you are my fate, my sweet.
I want no world for beautiful you are my world, My trus and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the sould can hope or mind can hide and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.
