Since I had a mother
whose many interests
lept her excited and occupied.
Since I had a mother
who interactred with so many people
that she had a real feeling for the world.
Since I had a mother
who was always strong
through any period of suffering.
Since I had a mother
who was a complete person
I always had a model
to look up to
and that made it easier
for me to develop into
an independent woman.
