Tow Mother's Remembered

I had tow Mothers- tow Mothers I claim Tow different people, yet with the same name.Two separate women, drivers by design, But I loved them both because they were mine. The firth was the Mother who carried me here,Gave birth and nurtured and launched my career. She was the one whose featyres I bear, Complete with the facial expressions I wear. She gave me her love, Which follows me yet, Along with the examples in life she set. As I got older, She somehow younger grew, And we' d laugh as just Mothers and daughters do. But then came the time that her mind clouded so, And I sensed that thee Mother I knew would soon go. So quickly she changed and turned inoto the other, A stranger who dressed in the clothes of my Mother. Oh, she looked the same, at least at arm' s length, But now she was the chlid and I was her strenth. We'd come full circle, we womemn three, My mother the firsi, the second and me. And if my own childeren shold come ti a day, When a new Mother comes and the old goes away, I' d ask of your Mothers as both have loved you.
