She is MY hero...

She is my hero...

She gave me life, physically AND spiritually
She gave me happiness and realism (which doesn't always come in the same package)
She braided my hair and dressed me for school.
She walked with me, even when she didn't have the strength to stand.
She has been my support and my shadow, even when it is OBVIOUS she deserved the spotlight.
She taught me compassion and love
She taught me beautiful and ugly didn't come from the outside, but from the inside.
She is always there to pull me up on firm, dry ground, when I am in the lowest part of the mud.
She pushes me from mediocrity to full success.
She is the worker.
She is the woman behind you in the checkout stand
She has eyes that sparkle with love
She has the smile as gentle as a dove
She gave me her eyes, her smile, her heart.
She is beautiful
She is Pure
She is my Mother.
