To my kids on Mother's Day

You are the poem I dreamed of writing, the masterpiece I longed to paint.  You are the shining star I reached for in my ever hopeful quest for life fulfilled.  You are my child.  Now with all things I am blessed.   --Unknown

They know me in a way no one else ever has.  

They open me to things

I never knew existed.

They drive me to insanity

and push me to my depths.

The are the beat of my heart,

the pulse in my veins,

and the energy in my soul.

They are my kids.
