Inspirational Mother-Daughter Poems: A Conversation

A mother relives through her reflection in her daughter. And while we wade in the rise and ebb of life's many tides, she lovingly clears the path and sprays fresh waters...
You are the apple of my eye, in you I live my life anew;
And as you reach for the sky, I too take fresh steps few.

You live, I breathe fresh air; you achieve, I richly applaud;
You color each rung and stair, while I undo every step flawed.

No more are you to be kept away, no more will I allow you to hide;
You are meant to shine and sway, to the rhythm of life with pride.

Come, come, dear, in you I live all my dreams and set new goal;
You are my future and I will give you the inheritance of control.

You are meant to rise and shine, to dance and feel as happy as a lark;
Your soul is whole too and from mine; daughter, keep bright the spark.
