Mothers And Daughters

Why does it seem as I grow old,

The years speed on their way,

I seem more like my mother,

With all the things I say.

 

When I was young and on my own,

My mother seemed so square,

I rolled my eyes and told myself,

I’m never going there.

I am no longer in control,

Or so it seems to be,

I have become my mother’s girl,

That’s what they all tell me.

 

I have her mannerisms,

Her laughter and her voice,

No one thought to ask me,

I didn’t have a choice.

 

I only wish that I had said,

While she was here to see,

If I can be just like you Mom,

That’s what I want to be.
