A piece here and a piece there….

My Mother gave me Wisdom,

My Father gave me Hope.

My family gave me Optimism, when I was at the end of my rope.

My friends gave me Insight,

My husband gave me Amore!

My children gave me Motivation, to be better than I was before.

And when I ponder these precious gifts,

Sent alike from family and friend

It becomes exceedingly clear

That they made me WHO I AM.
