one half

She wasn't my mom but she helped raise me.

She has forever been one of the people that inspires me most.
She was the model of the person I wanted to be as a child.

She was the idea of high school, and all the fancy dresses.
She was the treasured thought of college, and what it would be like when I was old enough to go.

I didn't want to be a princess.
I wanted to be her.

Her chapters of life have always been my favorite to read.

She was skilled at lemonade stands.
She knew all my Barbie's names.
She was the best soccer coach.
She was a homecoming queen.
She was the prettiest girl at prom.
She was the scholarship winner.
She was the collage graduate.
She was the most stunning bride.

And now she starts one of the biggest chapters of her life,
She will be the most wonderful mom.

She carries more life inside now, than she ever has before.
This world is about to blessed with another part of her.
This world will know more of her kindness.
This little one will have all the splendor life has to offer.


She helped raise me.
But this time,
She'll be the very best, mom.
