To My Children, Bradyn and Gracelyn Henderson
I will always be there for you
because I never want either of you to ever feel alone.
I will be that candle in the window,
so, both of you can always find your way back home.
I will be the sun up in the sky
to always be able to brighten up your day,
I will be the moon shining above,
so, in the dark you can both find your own ways.
I will be the blanket when either of you are cold
I hope that you will feel my warmth around you,
I will be the shoulder for both of you to cry on
when you are upset or just feeling blue.
I will be the listening ears
either of you just need someone to talk to,
I will be the advice that you need
when you just do not know what else to do.
I will be the voice inside your heads,
constantly reminding you not to give up and to fight,
I will be the hand patting both of your backs
every time you stand up for what is right.
I will be those stars that you wish upon
to help you realize both of your dreams,
I will be the needle and the thread
If ever it all falls apart at the seams.
I will be the map to anywhere
to help either of you if you happen to get lost,
I will be that number that either of you can call for anything
No matter what the cost.
I will be that feeling in both of your hearts
that will let you know that I will love you both like no other,
I will be anything you need at anytime.
I will always be...your mother.
