She is my heroine,
Yet she never had to act.
Her only role—
To be my role model.
At times, I wonder about her most,
Her dreams are vast,
Yet never greater than her love for me and my father.
She longs for rest,
Yet she never takes it.
She argues with me over silly things,
Yet never lets me fall.
Many laughed at her,
Yet she never hated them as they did.
Her pain speaks louder than my words,
And her struggles bring tears to my eyes.
I was never the daughter she deserved,
Never gave her love when she needed it most.
Those around her failed to be the support she wished for,
Yet, she remains the foundation of it all.
I promise you, Mama...
One day, I will become
The daughter you always dreamed of.
Happy Valentine MOM....
I wrote this for my mom as a Valentine’s Day wish. Some may dislike this poem, but for me, it is the one I wrote wholeheartedly, and it will always be the best. Many of us may, at times, feel upset with our parents over small things, but we must remember that they, too, can make mistakes unknowingly. After all, parenthood is a journey of learning and growing, just like childhood.
