Why are you my mother?

Why do you love me?
When all I do is lie,
Why do you bring me joy?
If I can only cry.

Why do you understand?
When all I show is hate,
Why do you follow?
If you know you are the bait.

Why do you stay?
When all I say is ‘go’,
Why do you continue?
If I tell you ‘no’.

Why did you keep me?
When all I bring is strife,
Why don’t you leave me?
If I only hate my life.

Why do you believe in me?
When I only let you down,
Why do you always smile at me?
If I can only frown.

Why are you my mother?
When my real one’s depart,
Why do you still love me?
If I can’t share my heart.

This is a very touching poem. I am sure that we all feel this way at some stage sometimes even the roles are reversed. I hope that everything turns out for the best.

Touching and obviously from the heart.
Sometimes someone elses faith in us makes us stronger.
