Footsteps

 
My mama has small feet.

Small shoes. 

But her strides reach twice as far as mine.

  

My mama has small hands.

  
Petite figure.

But her strength is that of an ox;

 
  
Our garden bears the fruits of her labor.

  
Literally.


My mama has a small, shy smile.

  
But her is heart is as big as this galaxy.



My mama is a small woman,

With small feet.

Who bore two kids,

Who have big shoes to fill.


But that's okay.
 
Because I love walking in your footsteps, Mom.
