My Mom, My Inspiration
This is a poem written by a 19 year old boy named Darren to his mother as a birthday gift.
My Mom, My Inspiration
As I look back on yonder year
I cannot help but see.
The person who was and is and
Always there for me.
Who taught me how to live my life
And how to find my place.
Who led me on life's narrow road
With beauty and with grace.
Who weathered all my storms
And sheltered me through grief and loss.
Whose gentle words and caring heart
Points ever to the cross.
If e'er I walk the errant path
Or stumble through through the rain.
She'd pick me up, her hand in mine
To lead me back again.
I love her not for what she's done
Nor blood or close relation.
But everything she is to me;
My mom, my inspiration.
