As I Grow Up


Mum,as I have grown, so has my appreciation and love for you
"Time flies" everyone says. Its frightening sometimes to look in the mirror
and see the evidence of that.
So often,we don't take a moment to say whats in our hearts,
and then, when it is too late, we wish we had.
I am taking a moment now,Mom, to tell you this...
When I was a child,there was so much I could not understand,
like how hard you worked,and how much you sacrificed for our family.
There were dreams you had to put on hold,
and dreams that never came true.You must have felt frustrated
sometimes, no doubt,and at times even full of despair.
Yet you never gave less than your best to us.
You never had an exciting career or beautiful clothes.
you never traveled the world or drove a fancy car.
Everyday you looked after us,worried about us,fed us and loved us.
Without expecting anything in return.
You see, Mom,I know now and understand that you actually gave me,
two lives:my own..and yours

           This poem was written by my Granddaughter
            With love to her mother,My Daughter-in-law
