feelings

momthers day poem 2011

Bluey/green eyes

Blonde hair

Different and unique

Amazing and ever changing

Someone who puts up with

All of my stupid mistakes

You’ll catch me if I fall

And comfort me as I cry

You make me laugh

And sometimes I just can’t stand you

But you put me ahead of yourself

Just as you had for brother and sister

I may not show how grateful I am

But trust me I am

I’ve wonder how you feel

Everytime I put my iPod into my ears

And I ignore you

How you feel

When I do something to defy you

How do you feel

When I put my friends ahead of you

The memories you hold

About me would be many

And good ones lots

But the best memories I have of you

Is when we went to that concert

For my birthday

And when you told me what you thought

Of my mean grade two teacher

Of course that one time

You always tell me about

You know the one where I said

‘Mommy I love it when you’re just yourself’

You asked me what I meant and I replied with the same thing

I believe we had been making cookies

As I said that.

You are a strong mother

A strong grandmother

A strong aunt

A strong sister

A strong wife

A strong cousin

And a strong daughter

You have your moments

When you feel like the world

Is closing in

Grabbing a hold of you

Telling you lies

Telling you things that make no

Sense

Or your thoughts drift towards

Your mother

Who left this world when I was little

I’ll catch you crying

I’ll try my best to comfort you

As you do for me

I’ll lend you my shoulder

Just so you can cry on it

I’ll make you a picture

Just so you can put it in your office

And smile when you see it

Your smile is the best thing

In the world apart from your voice

I feel complete when I see your smile

Or hear your voice

Both are things I live for

Mom, I love you

I know you aren’t perfect

And everytime you’re mad at me

I know it’s for good reason

Everytime you ground me

It’s for good reason

Mom, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met

I hope you know that I love you with all my heart

Even when I make my stupid mistakes

Ignore you

Pretend I don’t love you
