Your mother,
Has become so special to me.
I am so grateful for the relationship her and I have built, and the bond that we share.
She has created the most warm and welcoming space for my soul to rest and feel safe.
She always lends an ear when needed,
Offers the best mom hugs with perfect timing,
She is truly an angel.
We've gotten to the point where we talk every day,
Sharing bits about our day,
And things that make us laugh-
Your mom has made me want to open up to a mother figure again,
I want to learn things from her,
I love that she shares her life stories with me,
And offers advice from a mother's perspective.
I remember the first time she told me she loved me,
I was speechless,
And you could see it on my face -
I couldn't believe it,
But she said it again, "No, I really do love you"
And choking back tears, I said it back.
We now say it with ease.
I'm so grateful that you share your momma with me.
I've talked to her about my mom,
My God, I see similarities between them-
My mom would have loved her,
So fucking much.
I think they would've become great friends,
How I wish my mom could have met the woman that raised the woman I've grown to love.
With tears in my eyes,
I bask in gratitude-
Thank you for allowing me to grow close to your family in the ways that I have,
It has healed bits of my soul.
You have so lovingly held me,
In the moments my adoration for your momma, makes me miss mine-
I love how close you are with her-
Cherish that for all eternity.
