A Daughter You Always Wanted Poem by mona martinez

i know you're near,
watching from above,
making sure,
i'm who you wanted me to be,
or maybe more?
do i make you proud?
am i everything you hoped?
maybe more?
i don't want to let you down,
so when i fall,
i get right back up,
you didn't raise a quitter,
you've raised a winner,
everybody likes me,
nobody want to compete with me,
you have a strong girl,
who stays strong through tough times,
i may fall but,
with a mother lik you,
i've learned how to get right back up
and try again.
