The Mom I Never Had

My mom and I were tight When I was younger But as I got older, we started Fighting physically and verbally I developed a lot of anger towards her She never wanted to listen to the bad She never heard the good We went to different ways Than I was all alone I had no one to tell me good-night or to tuck me in I had no one to hold me when I cried or tell me that they loved me I had no one to run to when I got into a bad relationship and need help. That was until you came into my life You gave me reasons to live my life You helped me when all I seen was the darkness When I was in over my head You took good care of me You became the mom that I had always wanted You held me when I cried You helped me when I was afraid to be alone You helped me to enjoy Christmas when I hated the holidays You helped me become who I am today But the best thing you did was say that you loved me
