About the Poem

This poem was a gentle thank you to my kind and loving mother, who's warmth and love guides me daily.

My Treasure - For Mom

I look back on these years
To see how far I've come and grown,
I take a trip down memory lane,
And what I see has shown ...

That every step I've taken,
You have been there by my side ...
From infancy to adulthood,
We've stood the test of time.

You cradled me and nurtured me,
Through all these many years;
You held me and did comfort me,
Through happiness and tears.

You'd pick me up when I would fall,
You'd dust me off and then,
Encourage me to get back on
That horse and ride again.

Your constant care and loving,
And your warm inviting heart,
Has always been a treasure that
I knew would n'er depart.

If I could be "just half" the person
You have been to me ...
Then you have taught me well dear mom,
For in my heart I see ...

A woman whose most gentle soul,
Embraces me each day ...
A woman whom I dearly love,
Much more than words can say.

I love this poem because it is so true! I feel so sad for those girls (and boys) who don't have a good relationship with their mother (or father). I don't know what I would do without my mother. she is the best and can make anyone laugh. If I grew up to be just like her, that would be perfect.
joe
I really like it. it touched my inner fellings it made me want to call my mom and say that I loved her and that i always will.
Kay
I think this poem shows how much this woman really thinks and feels about her mom. Her mom was a great woman and if she can be just 1/2 the woman that she was to her children then she feels she will be doing a pretty good job. I know how she feels. My mom was the best mom any girl could have asked for.
