Mom

Yet another poem I wrote in high school. I wrote this for my mother on mother's day.

When I was born
You were the first person I saw
You held me in your arms
A delicate finger on my jaw
You rocked me softly
In your strong arms
Told me you'd protect me
From any harm

As time went by
We grew and drew
You were there for me
This I knew
You cheered me on
When I was up
You encouraged me
When I wanted to give up

You always made me feel
Like I was on top
You brought me with you
When you wanted to shop
You helped me with my homework
Even with the math
You washed my hair
When I was in the bath

You're one of a kind
I know that now
So stand right up
And take a bow
You love me
I know you do
So I wanted to say
I love you, too

This was also written in 2004. Boy, was I sappy back then.
