I am...because of Her

Today I am a mother, wife, and friend

Because of her...
I became a survivor, rather than a victim
I stood, when my instinct was to cower
I loved, when my instinct was to fear
I felt, when I didn't know that I could feel

I succeeded, when everyone expected that I would fail
I learned, when others thought I could not be taught

I watched her demonstrate sacrifice, while all around us people were taking
She taught me to give of myself...and to expect nothing less of others

From her
I learned forgiveness
 patience
 tolerance
and that you must always, always keep forging ahead

today I am loved , and able to love...
because of Her....
