When we're together, it's always laughter or tears
and even when yelling, love does not disappear.
You infuriate me, and I drive you insane,
but it's only because, you and me, we're the same.
I still cherish being held in your arms,
knowing, for a time, I'll be safe from all harm.
You are my Mother.
When I was younger, you were always the best,
and I thought, to know you, I must surely be blessed.
You were my hero, so proud and so strong,
and I loved to be near you, and follow along.
Now you are a mother, and the best that I know,
but the love I have for you, I'll never outgrow.
You are my Sister.
When I looked in your eyes, I knew I was lost,
the line between "child" and "woman" was crossed.
Now the thing I live for is just to see your grin,
when you're getting into things you shouldn't be in.
I understand, now, what I put my mom through,
the love and exasperation that I call "you!"
I am your Mother.

This is really neat. You followed the path from childhood to womanhood and full circle to actually being a mother. A great idea, and a tribute to both mother and child all rolled into one delicious piece of poetry.

no need whatsoever for it to be removed. this is perfect, perfect in that you go from being a daughter, to a sister, to a mother yourself.
very well penned.
