To Mother

 

Have you ever noticed, how one word can mean 
so many things?

As I have changed from a child to an adult, so 
have my views of you.

As a child, I called you "mommie".  Looked to you 
to chase away the monsters, kiss my hurts, and 
protect me as "momma's little girl".

As a teenager, seeking my own place in this 
world, you became my "Mom".  You looked out 
for me, even though I hardly ever listened to 
your advise.

Now as an adult, with my own child, you are now 
my "Mother".  A person who has my respect.  A woman 
who I am proud to be her daughter, but most of 
all, you are one whom I love with all my heart.
