Because of you

just because

Because of You

 

Because of you

I learned to live

I learned to breathe

I learned to give

 

I learned to write

I learned to read

I learned to want

I learned to need

 

I learned to sing

I learned to talk

I learned to dance

I learned to walk

 

I learned to look

I learned to know

I learned to listen

I learned to grow

 

I learned to dream

I learned to care

I learned to hear

I learned to share

 

I learned to gain

I learned to teach

I learned to find

I learned to reach

 

I learned to smile

I learned to grin

I learned to love

All over again

This is so simple and yet so strong. It really is the truth. We would not be the same people without our mothers. I know that I would be a completely different person if it wasn't for my mother. I personally identify myself with the saying "I may not like my mother sometimes, but I love her always". That's something that goes for our a tad strange and at the same time normal relationship. :P Either way, wondrous job, Jack! You have a gift to capture very strong emotion in all of your work. :)

This is certainly a poem a Mom would love! It's amazing just how much a part mom's play in our life. Nice tribute poem

Thanks so much Melissa and an early Happy Mother's Day to you.

Thank you Jack...He's 22, but that mothering love still runs deep.

[Jack...]

Mine are 27 and 31 and I know what you...wait, I'm not a mother. Nevermind.

[Melissa]

Plttttt you're a father and father's can have just as strong a feeling. Dave took care of his son more than his ex wife did. They developed the sort of relationship I suppose a mother would have. Besides Father's Day is just around the corner. :)

[icelandicblue]

Ah, thanks mom! I wouldn't mind if one of my children gave me something like this. It is just so darn sweet.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much. Happy Mother's Day (early)
