| Prayer for My Mother I am the baby you carried inside The one you raised with so much pride. Although there were times when I only cried, you never just ran away to hide. I am the child you always fed, the one you had to coax to bed; when I complained you never said that you wished I were a kitten instead. I am the person that you met halfway, the one who wants time to show and say that you are the best in every way. Mom, I just hope to be like you someday. -Stephanie Wilcox-Hughes |
