For the mothers on the board Before I Was Myself, You Made Me, Me
« on: May 08, 2009, 06:32:18 PM »
Before I was myself you made me, me
With love and patience, discipline and tears,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Allowing me to sail upon my sea,
Though well within the headlands of your fears.
Before I was myself you made me, me

With dreams enough of what I was to be
And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Relinquishing your powers gradually
To let me shape myself among my peers.
Before I was myself you made me, me,

And being good and wise, you gracefully
As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears
Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.

For love inspires learning naturally:
The mind assents to what the heart reveres.
And so it was through love you made me, me
By slowly stepping back to set me free.

Happy Mothers Day

Gumbo..............

Thank you for the beautiful poem.

By the way where can I get some good crawdads? My daughter wants to have a Crawfish boil for Mothers Day and I told her I would ask around......... :bikerider:

Life is too short for drama or petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly. Live While You Are Alive. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

If you don't mind having some small ones mixed in they are .99 cents a pound at HEB this weekend. Just call ahead and make sure they have them and have them reserve some for you.
