Mommy,
You’re too good for me,
This daughter who you barley see,

Not by your choice,
But by her own,
With her tendency in others to rejoice,
And has left you to be so alone.

Well Mommy dear,
Here is your daughter that your loss does fear,
Your daughter who lacks the ability to show,
All the love for you she wants you to know,

So mommy so true and kind,
Mommy women like you hard to find,
Mommy I am sorry,
That I argue and make you worry,

Mommy I am sorry,
That to grow I was in such a hurry,
Mommy I never meant to love you less,
But with it’s hard with broken pieces I must confess,

You’ve warned me countless times,
Of people and their soul crimes,
Mommy you’ve warned me of this place,
But mommy I had to learn at a rapid pace,

It’s hard to love, to show, to trust,
After being so many times with a knife in the back ******,
But mommy you warned me,
And mommy you should not be the one to suffer for those who scorned me,

So my mommy,
So wise, so dear,
My mommy I love so much, and loss I fear.

Mommy I just want to plead I am sorry,
Sorry I don’t hug you,
Or kiss you,
Or tell you I love you!

So mommy thank you for the strength it took,
The strength you taught me,
And the weakness you shook,

Thank you mommy,
For being you,
Thank you mommy,
All I can say is I truly love you!
