The Woman Behind The Girl

A local girl's poem about her Mother.

She shows me the sun.
But keeps me from wilting,
While knowing clouds are just part of the plan.

She stands behind me,
Always knows how to find me,
Even though, I sometimes don't know where I am.

She has eaten crow,
To watch me grow,
And be my biggest fan.

She quietly wishes,
For so much more for me.
While for herself,
My happiness is all that she dreams.

In my heart of treasures,
She is my pearl.
As she's the woman,
Behind the girl.
