The Source - Poem by Gerard Geiger

The Source

I see her in your eyes
and in your laugh and smile.
The movements that you make
were copied as a child.

The expressions that you have,
are a clear indication
of the flattery you bestow
on the subject of imitation.

Subtle, it may be,
yet the bond is of steel.
You are what is she,
and it's through her you feel.

For everything you are
and all you will discover
have their point of origin
within your darling mother.

Gerard A. Geiger, May 8, 1986

Written on reflection of my wife and her Mother.
