You May Not Be...

Karyn Indursky

 

You may not be
my mother through blood,
but you are my mother through
spirit, soul, compassion,
understanding, wisdom, strength,
love, and things that
blood isn't strong enough
to hold in its hands,
but yet you manage to
with a natural ease.
You may not be
my mother through blood,
but you are my mother
in ways we connect through
not only words, but actions.
You may not be
my mother through blood,
but no matter what
I love you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this as part of a letter addressed to Cindy Keiser. I personally feel it also applies to a few other women, who have largely contributed to my life and who I am today. To all of them, I thank and love you. God bless.
