My mother is a very sweet person Someone who cares She is a very neat person Someone that is there She is the one I tell my secrets to The one who holds me through sad times The one tells me what to do And help me control my mad times
Her hope is as big and strong as a mountain Her love is more powerful than a tide or a fountain Her courage is stronger than any on earth Yet all of these things have no worth She tells me great stories from long ago She tells me things I do not know She can walk into your heart without any feet And she has powerful speech
I’m crazy about my mother And she is crazy about me too If she died, I wouldn’t know what to do My mother’s heart is as pure as gold A smile that sparkles like silver And a spirit like a flower that never withers She maybe as old as sand But she is my best friend.
This is my first poem! I wrote in my 7th grade science class. It was published twice. It was the beginning of my poetry career. This was before 2003.
