Poetry From the Heart

my mother's day gift?

I wrote this for my mother since I haven't gotten her a present yet. . .who cares if it isn't perfect, Moms like every gift from their kids right?

You tell me that when I was smaller,

I was your girl.

I told you that I loved you

and that I was your shadow.

You say I don't love you anymore,

Or at least not like I used to

But the truth is,

I love you the same as I did then, except I show it differently.

Instead of hanging onto your leg while you walk,

I walk beside you, and tell you of my day.

Instead of saying you're the best Mommy in the world,

I simply give you a hug, and squeeze  you a little harder than usual.

Sure, we bicker,

Drive Dad crazy in the process,

But in the end I am grateful,

To have a mother who is faithful to her family and hard working.

I scoff at the idea of myself cleaning,

But sometimes, just to loosen your load,

I pick something up here and there,

sometimes sweep, and leave it unnoticed.

Most girls my age believe they love their boyfriends,

More than their own mothers.

But I know they don't,

For a love for a mother can not be matched.

For will your teenage boyfriend,

make soup for you whenever you ask?

Will he hug you and tell you he loves you,

and mean it?

So, to sum it all up,

you are my mother,

I am proud to say it.

And if four simple words will make all the difference,

I am willing to say them,

Mommy, I love you.

--See?  Not my best, but I know that my mother will like it.
