In life, we all have certain people who we're close with and hold onto them so tight so we never let them go. Well, for me, that person would hands down be my mom. Throughout my entire life she has always been there for me. Through all the many ups and downs life has to offer she has helped me get through them by both picking me up and cheering me on along the way.
I can honestly say I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for her always believing and encouraging me to be the absolute best I can be. I know I've brought my mom up in some of my articles, but I've never done something like write a poem about her before. Because how can I possibly sum up everything she's done for me and been through in her life in just a poem? I can't even do an entire article and feel like I've said everything I should.
But, I've decided to go with this anyway because recently I've watched my mom go through a lot these past few months. And the way she was able to make it through has inspired me to write this for her. So, Mom, I just wanted to say thank you and tell you how much you mean to me.
My Mom, She Is
She is
the hand
who lifts me up
when I can't get up myself.
She is
the shoudler
I use
to cry on
when nothing seems
to be going right.
She is
the arms
that wrap around me
when I've had a bad day
and sometimes words
aren't even needed.
She is
the feet
that lead me in
the right direction
when I can't
see it in front of me.
She is
the light
that comes through
the clouds
on my darkest days.
She is
a parent
who raised her two kids herself
while the other was too busy
drinking.
She is
the strongest person I know
who battled through hell and back
yet thanked me for being so strong
if only she knew how much I cried.
She is
my best friend
when everyone left
and even when some stayed.
She is
bold with her words
and never silences her voice
what I would do to be
like that for a day.
She is
my mother
and I've never
felt more lucky
to be her daughter.
