You held me when I needed you, as I did for you
When I was unable to do for myself you were there, as I was there for you
When my words were not so clear you spoke for me, as I proudly spoke for you
You made decisions for me when I could not, and I humbly made decisions for you
As time passed I understood you more than you'd ever know
Your personality meshed with mine and we were of the same cloth
You protected me when I was in harms way, and when needed I did the same for you
We shared so much
Still we share so much
The love that only a mother can give to her daughter
And the love only a daughter can give to her mother
But today
This day
We share something that maybe small to others but to us is so much bigger
On this day, the seventh day of the ninth month we share the words
Happy Birthday my lovely daughter
Happy Birthday my beautiful mother, I will always love you
This poem is dedicated to Ms. Casandra Hardee and her mother Ms. Blondie L. Hardee, who although is not with her physcially is always with her spiritually and mentally.
There is no relationship like the one between a mother and daughter. A mother teaches her daughter to be great woman. To show no fear when faced with the problems of the world. To know how to give her weight to the Lord and let him handle it. She also gives her that little bit of attitude when needed but not too much. "Respect yourself first" is what they say to you.
A daughter takes the teachings she's learned and instills them in her children creating a never ending cycle of her legacy. Each one taking a piece of who she was, no, of who she is, and building from that foundation. A relationship this precious should never be taken lightly. Never be taken for granted.
I wish Ms. Sandy and even though I never had the pleasure, her mother, a Happy Birthday.
Nikki Frierson
