Mothers are Meant for the Lost Girls
May 18, 2012
You have hands meant to be held,
To help me cross the street
When I forget to look both ways.
You have strong arms to hold
Me, wrapped in a blanket in the night
When I can’t breathe without you.
You have eyes meant to cry
Along with me and for me,
Because I’m still learning.
You have lips meant to love
Me with words,
Even when I forget to listen.
You have a heart meant for a mother.
But sometimes I forget to be your daughter.
