A poem from our Mentoring Program:
Thank you so much
For being my inspiration
My mentor and friend
My light and wind beneath my wings
Always a place I can go
To share my pain
My failures and successes
My thoughts and my heart
Only you have stood beside me
Encouraging and patient
Kind and always true
To have you say
"I'm proud of you
Is the greatest gift
Anyone has given me in years
It tore my heart And brought me to tears
It reminded of a mother
Who walked away long ago
She didn't offer a "I love you
or a "I'm sorry"
For all the pain I've caused you
For not being a good mother
For calling you a mistake
And crushing your heart
But she is not comparison to you
She never said anything good
She never bothered to care
You are nothing like her
You are what God
Intended a mother to be
I am so honored
So proud and blessed
To even know you
My God truly blessed me
Renewed my faith
And strengthened my heart
You are my truest blessing
All that is good in my life
My only friend
Through many years
You have seen me struggle
You have seen me win
Through many trials
So many challanges
You have taught me
Guided me
Helped me to believe in myself
To see my strengths
My goodness and worth
So thank you again
Even though thank you
Doesn't describe enough
