It started with the love
Of one to another,
That gave you a child 
And made you a mother.


It produced a strong bond
That no man could alter.
To cherish and love
Your son and your daughter.


You watched them grow
And gave them direction.
You showed them love,
Comfort and protection.


Who they are now
Is a reflection on you.
You gave them the strength
To do what they do.
