Love                                                                                               I've copied you, Mother                                         My words echo your voice                                         You're my shining example                                         The one of my choice                                        Not thinking about it                                        I've copied your style                                        The way that you walk                                        The way that you smile                                        You fashioned my dreams                                        You painted my hopes                                        I've learned to make knots                                        At the end of my ropes                                       We all learn to love,                                       But not from a friend                                       I learned your strength                                      And when I should bend                                      Mom, you've mapped the way                                      To Heaven above                                      By teaching me kindness                                      By teaching me love
