Like a flower you let me blossom.
Water, motivation and all the right conditions.
Buds moved,
Earth quaked.
I rose,
Like a weed,
I was a nuisance.
You always loved me,
tended carefully to me.
Watched my own seeds fall from the plant
to make my own.
Guided my sweet buds,
somehow blossoming into
peonies.
Strength and beauty exudes
fallen from my own.
Cultivated and cared for by the gardener.
Mom.

I love that your mom is your inspiration. My mom has inspired me in many ways as well.

I just wish I could be as cool as my mom. I’m not quite as patient as she was.

I love my Mom! She is one of the strongest people I know. When my brothers say “you’re just like Mom”, I say there aren’t many people I’d rather be like.a

I really love all inspiration, those are all heart touching! Love this one so much:
You always loved me,
tended carefully to me.
Watched my own seeds fall from the plant
to make my own.
