    Wholeheartedly, She loved me- And inspired me- With transcending devotion. It was a blessing- To have been her child To have been loved- Without conditions. Her words of wisdom- Opened my eyes- To the world- And to myself. By seeing the best in me, She empowered me. By believing in me, She transformed me. She grew old- And floated away, But her love remains standing- Eternally by my side. For all her children Delbert
