Because of you, I am me.

The beauty in you has been passed on to me.

~

Wonders of the world that you got to see,

That adventurous spirit will always inspire me.

~

Because the best parts of you, have been passed on to me.

~

Strong woman with a depth of compassion and love that could fill a sea,

I will strive to be as kind, as open, and as happy.

~

Because the humanity in you, has been passed on to me.

~

Grandmother with an impressionable mind at your knee,

My young eyes were always looking up into yours with glee.

~

Because the joy and lust for life in you, has been passed on to me.

~

You won’t have to wait long to see,

I have become what you always imagined I would be.

~

Because of you, I am me.
