Follow In Her Footsteps Poem by Kaila George

She has always been….
My role model

She has always been….
My inspiration

Her faith my rock
Her love my anchor
Her wisdom my guide

When she was gone….
I was lost

When she was gone….
I was confused

When she was gone….
I died a little inside

The tears that fell that day
Is a pool that wades through life?
I struggled through the pain

Five years later….
I am stronger than I was
I am proud to be her daughter
She made me who I am today
I now follow in her footsteps

I have a lot to do…
I will make her proud
I can hear her just now as she softly says

I told you so….smiles…Yeah I know MUM
