Mother Poem

You Taught Me How To Love You

Author: Nicholas Gordon

You taught me how to love you by
The way that you loved me;
And by your unseen sustenance,
To see what you could see. 
You gave to me through who you were
The gift of what I am.
Your pride in me is now my pride;
Your faith, my caravan. 

Your life does not conclude with death,
Nor will it end with mine,
For all the lives I touch, you touch,
And so on through all time.
