New poem

“Mommy”

Dearest Mommy, you are so precious to me
I grew in your tummy for 9 months long
You always sang me a song

When I was little you showed me the way
You taught me my ABCs
And bandaged my bruised knees

We always could rely on you
You showed us sacrificial  love
It came down from above

As early as I can recall you made me feel safe
In so many ways you taught us to learn and grow
The love in our hearts you guided us to let it show

I love your cute nicknames for me
Always patient and kind
You nurtured my mind

You taught us that Jesus loves us
And died for our iniquity
My faith began and my soul was set free

I fell asleep many a night to your lullaby
You read to us; we would play, sing, and laugh
You even taught us math

Thank you for always caring for me
You have touched my heart in so many ways
I will forever cherish our carefree days

Thanks for loving me unconditionally
And having a love to pure and true
Dearest Mommy, I love you
