To My Mom (AP mom Desire)

With open arms of love you hold me.
Whipping away all my tears.
Letting me know things will be alright.
You chased away all my fears,
never letting me drown in a sea of pain.

"Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be?"


You opened up my heart with love.
Shining your light on this lonely soul,
as you watched out for me like a sweet dove.
Always there to make sure I reach my goal,

"I would be nothing without you", and all that you have done
never turning me away in time of need
one step ahead at times at times you let me lead
always holding my hand when I wanted to concede
Giving me hope inside and something to believe

You helped mold me into to the person I am today
"Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings."
not taking any credit but without you I would not be
You are my shining star the one that has always loved me

Like and unseen hand you push me in the right direction
"So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength."
I wish for all the best for you and give you all my love

    Just Beautiful!

    The song these lines came from is one of my all time favorite songs!! Just absolutely stunning! And to incorporate it into a poem to someone whom you feel to be "the wind beneath your wings" is a truly inspired idea! As always, you've done a simply incredible job of expressing your love for one who holds a special place in your heart! Every line is so heartfelt, and touching. This is just beautiful!
    Much love,
    Paula

    a few things:

    1) "You were content to let me shine, that's your way,
    you always walked a step behind."

    Earlier you stated, "one step ahead at times at times you let me lead" so the above is a contridiction.

    2) "Like and unseen hand you push me in the right direction
    always there even if you could not be seen"

    You already established that she guided you with an unseen hand, and then you said she's always there even if unseen.
    I'd change that, it just sounds like your restating what you just said.

    Other than that, I think its a really great piece. You showed great love for this person, that you respect enough to consider her a mom of sorts! Very sweet! Beautifully put together poem hun!
