I wrote a poem a long time ago dedicated to my mom for an English 2 assignment. I wanted to share it with all of you. I will be trying to post it on Twitch and Jerk (Tourette’s Syndrome) as well. :)
“As My Mother”
More than money, fame or glory, I prize you, my Mother.
You are unlike any other.
When you smile, I smile. You fill me up with joy.
The happiness bubbles inside me like an ice, cold, fizzing soda.
When you cry, I cry.
The sadness in your soul connects to mine.
The darkness creeps into my mind as it does yours.
I am afraid of you never being happy again.
Your childlike essence is a sweet welcome each day.
Your heart is as big as a singing, purple mountain.
When you hurt, I hurt. The scars on your heart carve scars on mine.
We are connected by blood.
As my mother, you understand me.
You know how to talk to me when I am in need.
Your voice is smooth like butter, and as gentle as a breeze.
No matter what, you are always there for me.
I love you, mother. You are my sunshine.
You are the reason I am still in this world.
I sing, dance, laugh that you are in my life.
May your world shine bright.
O Mother, my mother. You make me feel so free.
I can grow to be the woman you have always wanted me to be.
So, I write this poem to show how much I care.
Know always that you will always be in my beating heart.
