When I came into this world, the first thing I saw was your face with your skin glistening, hair plastered with your forehead, but you still smiled for me
That’s where it all started
When the nurse broke our embrace and took you away from me. I tried to cling on to you but it did not work. I am sorry for that mom
When everyone thought it was a best to leave me in a box that made weird noises, I cried out for you but it did not work. I am sorry for that mom
The first time you brought me home and held me close, I cried for three days straight I am sorry for that mom
You gave me the bottle and I rejected it immediately ruining your clothes and sense of confidence. I am sorry for that mom
You paced around the house and sung endless lullabies for no extra charge it only annoyed me I am sorry for that mom
You let the house turn into a mess and stopped attending work so that I get proper sleep and function Thank you for that mom
You gave up your social life so that you could spend more time with me Thank you for that mom
You stopped going to see your parents and siblings so that I could take my first steps, say my first word and eat right Thank you for that mom
You would go into a panic every time my cries got more urgent and my scream more louder Thank you for that mom
You would lose sleep over me, whenever I could not sleep a wink because I thought there was something hiding under my bed Thank you for that mom
You would skip meals because I thought it would be great fun to run around the house and break everything in sight Thank you for that mom
You would get scared whenever I could not stay in place and was always very close to getting lost. Thank you for that mom
You would stress whenever I would not finish my food and went to bed hungry. Thank you for that mom
You would hurt whenever I fell and scraped my knees or needed stitches Thank you for that mom
You would be patient with me every time I lost patience and could not do something right Thank you for that mom
You taught me how to read, write and soon speak fluently Thank you for that mom
You picked me up when I fell and refused to get up Thank you for that mom
You comforted me every time something broke and fell apart including my goals and dreams Thank you for that mom
Sorry for all the trouble but thank you for never giving up on me.
