as i sit across from her
i am amazed
“do you know what is so awesome?”
i ask
without waiting for an answer
i reply
“that you are my mother and
that i am sitting here with you
that is awesome”
“you chose me”
she said
yes
i thought
and you were the vehicle for my arrival
you carried me for nine months
you showed me how to walk
you listened to me cry
you laughed with me
played with me
and wrote down all the stories i told you
and you still love me today
at 23 you hold my hand and tell me how much you love me
that is amazing
