They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
The flower doesn’t fall far from the cherry blossom
Growing older day by day
Developing, learning, maturing
The older I get the more I realize

I am my mother’s daughter

You see yourself in me
Reminisce back to your teenage years
All though times have changed
We go about life the same way

Maturing and growing up
Oh so fast
Making mistakes but learning from them

We enjoy our lives
Perfection is balance
In which we have achieved
Yet some still have not
I live my life to the fullest
Working hard but having fun
As do you

Life isn’t about the destination
It’s about the journey along the way

We are the same person dear mother
No wonder why we’re so close
So sorry that I’ve disappointed you
Hoping to move forward

Thanks for bringing me into this world
Caring for me
Sometimes too much
The love a mother has for her daughter
Unexplainable
Can’t be seen, only felt

As I grow, learn and mature I realize

I am my mother’s daughter
