Mother's Love She sees me struggle to sit up, Sees me struggle to crawl. She watches as I take my first step And can't help but wonder where I'll go. One step after another With mothers guiding hands, I learned to walk, then run. Soon I'll go out to play. All this time she watches her child, Watches me grow and grow. But always she remembers To let in the light when I get scared. She sees me grow older, Sees me grow wiser. She watches as I learn to love And wonders if she's doing right. Day by day, year by year, With mothers guiding hands, I learned to read, then right, Soon I'll do more on my own. All this time she watches her child, Watches as I become a lady. But still she remembers To let in the light when i get scared. She sees my struggles with God, Sees my struggles with life. She watches as I do more on my own And can't help but wonder where I'll go. Now that I am almost grown I see how much she really cared, And wish that I could unsay so many things And tell her how much she means to me. She's been through so much, Always showed so much strength. She's taught me how to love, Even through the hate. Now as I prepare to leave the nest, I will take all that she has taught me, Spread my wings and fly away, I can't help but wonder where I'll go. ** sorry it's so long  ** |

I think that this was very well done. My mother and I have no relationship. My mother is a drunk and that makes it very hard... But your poem explains everything I ever wanted in a mother. I hope you continue to tell your mother how special she is to you. Because You could have had a mother who told you she hated you from the day that you were two. A mother who drank away you childhood. I haave a wonderful father though that I am now living with. My life is much better. But My heart still aches about my mother. So give your mom a hug and let her know how special she is. Mel "Death is not the end. Just a vaction (where you acan still see the world)from friends and family, in time they all follow you to your permanet vacation spot." |
