I am strong because of you

I am strong because of you
I am true to myself
Because of the amazing things I have seen you do
I know right from wrong
I create the rhythm to my own song
Because of you
I try my best
Even when I feel I cannot compete with the rest
I know that you care for me
Because if you didn’t
This poem would not have come to be
I know that you love me unconditionally
Because without you showing that to me…
I wouldn’t know why so many of life’s adventures,
capture me emotionally
Mommy I know that I need you
Because that is just the only thing that will always be true
I am strong because of you
I am true to myself
Because of the amazing things I have seen you do
