For the years they spent sculpting and moulding
All those years just doing thier best for us
As the shape of it I stand before you today
For the power behind unconditional love
The tears that they dried and times they pushed me to try
Just that little bit harder, push a little further
When they held me in thier arms, and made me thankful for thier love
The times they reasured me and made me feel good enough
For all those years they spent nurtering and advising
For all those years they spent loving and obliging
For all those years of struggling but never showing
For all those years of fixing and sowing
I am thankful for the unconditional love that has made me who I am inside
For without them I would never have been quite enough
Without them I would be but a shadow to the girl I am today
As today I stand before you, as the shape of thier love.

As a mother this poem just makes me smile….. I hope you show this to your parents or grandparents or whoever was responsible for inspiring you to write this very endearing and sweet dedication. It is so wonderful to find someone who isn’t ashamed to sing of this process of sculpting, of the love and dedication it took to shape a child. I so liked the last line – a very lovely end to this poem (just check the spelling of “their” – also in the 7th line). The rhyming flowed well and was consistent. A lovely and heartwarming poem – thank you for this entry.
