Dear mommy
My eighteen years of pure and full life has been marked upon my skin
the skin that is yours and leaves marks of crocodiles on my hands...
All that I know, I know through your eyes
As my blue finds light in the green of yours.
All I feel, I feel through your heart
The one that has showed nothing but love
the heart so full of your daughters' tears, fears, joy, laughter and faces.
You have taught me to grow
I have grown in your path
as our similarities are far defined with the same way we eat our baguettes.
mommy it was you who showed me the 'way'
it was you who taught me who to be
and all I can hope for is to be
half the mother you were to me
To love like you have loved me
To inspire like you have inspired me
To believe like you believe in me
I thank you for being the one who's DNA is so entangled throughout my mind body and soul
where would I be if it werent for your encouraging warmth, hugs, kisses
and nest
I love you mommy
Love Aimee
