big brown eyes

when I try to type "eyes" it keeps coming up "yes"

just like the word I stumbled on

when you said I love you 

then asked me if I loved you too

so many many years ago


the stumbling was not  because I didn't

no

it was because I had no idea why you would

love me....that is


that was the moment I saw myself unlimited
someone more than who I thought I was 
and more like who I wanted to be


you never withheld your love

and from that I have struggled and grown

...made mistakes

...probably said wrong things

but I learned to be a mom

not the one who made you

but the one who loves you like she did
