I am the mother of three daughters

Who astonish me at every turn

They are smart and poised

filled with joy

and fearlessness

they amaze me

all the time

Take my breath away

with the art they create

They are writers and painters

photographers

comedians

runners

joggers

yogis

teachers

dancers

God, how they love to dance

every day people

grounded by their experiences

hard workers, such freakin' hard  workers

introspective and with extraordinary perspective

journeying forward 

committed to doing good things

acknowledging others who struggle

looking them clear in the eye

and reaching out to lift up

being kind and thoughtful

loving their lives

appreciative of the gifts that surround them to include 

love

big love

Oh my I am so proud to be

your mother

so pleased to know such lovely women

love love love holdng your hands
when we walk together.
