One Gift
This poem is dedicated to my mother
When you were young
many years ago
a child inside you began to grow

There was so little you had to give
So you gave her your love
that she might live

When she was born
there was joy in your heart
Nothing on earth could pull you apart

So many hugs
and smiles have been shared
No need to wonder how much you cared

The candle of love you lit shines bright
She's all grown up now
sharing that light

Passing along the one thing you could give
You gave her your heart
that love might live
