Mother

A Poem by Chelsea Miller
"

A poem for my awesome Mom on Mothers' Day

"
You are like the earth;
You have always held me up,
Never flinching under the weight
you carry.
I am grateful for the times I've been 
lost at sea;
Only then was I able
to truly appreciate you.

You are like gravity;
Keeping me grounded.
I am grateful for the times
I've felt like I might drift away;
Only then was I able to feel you
holding me;
Only then did I learn that
you'll never let me go.

You are like the stars;
Even when I am lost in
darkness,
I know I can always find you.
I am grateful for the times
I've felt lonely, forgotten,
stranded;
Only then did I learn that
you will always guide me home.

You are like the trees;
You are the sheltering protection
where I find my rest.
I am a bird;
I will fly away.
But I will always find my way
home to you.
