Walk next to me

We started walking 

Everyday together.

Honestly I

Do not get

Much of a 

Workout 

From it.

But I go

With you,

We talk 

As we walk.

You tell stories

I have heard 

My whole 

Life but I act 

Like I never 

Have heard them.

We walk 

Together .

Our footsteps 

Different but

We get 

To

The same 

Place.

You started 

Before me

Your story

Your

Walk 

Your steps.

I started mine 

19 yrs later.

As we walk

I grab your 

Hand

Grateful 

To be your

Daughter

Your moon.

As we walk 

Holding 

Hands

You 

Whisper

You are moon

You are my sun.

We walk 

Together

I whisper 

You 

Are my ocean

You are my

Air 

You are my walk.

You stop 

And look 

At me.

No child

You are my walk.

You say.

And for the 

First time

I understand 

What being 

A mother means.
