Mommie,

These hands of yours

Have made me

Feel safe even

On the darkest of nights

Your hands have taught

Me every recipe you know

They've comforted me,

Fixed my hair,

Wiped my tears

They held mine tightly

As we lost one of the

Most important men in our lives

I know there might come a day

Where you will not recognize me

But I will never leave you

I'll reteach you the recipes you've forgotten

I'll comfort you when you're scared and unsure

I'll fix your hair

I'll wipe your tears

I'll take care of you the same way

You took care of me

And there will come a day

Where I will have to say goodbye to you

But I will keep loving you

Until the end of time
