From her daughter, Kim:

My mother has taught me many things, but one lesson I hold dear-

Are qualities a “mom” should have and what attitude to bear.

While she didn’t say these, in so many words,

Her character demonstrated everything I learned

A mother’s love is unconditional despite what she’s put through,

She is the voice of reason, when we don’t know what to do.

A mother’s spirit is fierce, no illness can it break,

Her heart is warm, leaving kindness in its wake.

A Mothers wisdom will “mostly” speak the truth,

She will draw on experience from her youth

So many superpowers a mom does gain,

Her hugs can alone can heal the pain.

So, these qualities are just a few,

Of the amazing things my mother could do

But the most special thing a mother has to offer,

is the unspoken bond she shares with her daughter.
