I love being my mother's daughter

I love being my mother's daughter

I love being my mother's daughter,

And I love being my brother's sister.

My mother with her lengthy white finger nails,

Nail beds shorter than the tip.

Mine too,

Mine too.

A smile so bright it could cure a whole room,

The freckles on my arms are starting to mirror hers.

Not everyone loves where they came from,

But I do.
