Cherished By Mom Poem by Christen Kuikoua

In you, dear Mother, my pride resides,
No hate could ever in my heart abide.

Nine months within your loving embrace,
You nurtured me with boundless grace.

You taught me to speak, to write, to stand,
Guided me with a gentle hand.

A part of you, you gave to me,
A bond so strong, for eternity.

Today and always, I honor you,
For all you've done, for all you do.

My love for you will never fade,
In every moment, in every shade.

I am honored to be your child,
With gratitude, my heart compiled.

To the world, I proudly proclaim,
My mother, my joy, my cherished name.
