From You

I can be stubborn at times,

sarcastic, and a little hard-headed.

I can rub people the wrong way,

but I always get the job done.

I think I may get that from you.

I like to cook for others,

to host people in my home.

No matter how simple the game,

I always play to win.

I probably got that from you.

You’re a skilled gardener

who can make anything grow.

You have the patience for jigsaw puzzles

and can make the piano sing.

I wish I got some of that from you.

Writing is my passion,

and I’m a great devil’s advocate.

I play my music a little too loud,

and I’m a pretty big fan of tattoos.

I’m sure I didn’t get that from you.

But… I never back down to anyone

and always fight for what I believe.

I’m a strong woman who loves fiercely.

I’m grounded, loyal and generous.

I most definitely get that from you.
