Poem
Dear Mom, I bet the day you held me to ya chest in Abeline, was the day you felt that you’d accomplished everything But time is flying by It’s see you later not goodbye hearts racing I promise I’ve been listening 20 years probably hit you like a ton of bricks But there’s a construct that’s so funny, it’s such a twist The big bad wolf is me now Branched off the family tree house Don’t cry it’s beautiful just loosen up your grip Look, don’t know if you fully prepared Like the table when I set it Come sit down pull out your chair Cause lately it’s been seeming we are not getting anywhere From relationships to independence Here are the words I’ll share A baby boy in your eyes, but we see different reflections You held the shattered shards when I was young and needed protection Take a look at how your oldest just gorilla-glued the pieces I’ll be safe on my own I promise ma I really mean it As I sit inside this room A zone designed for comfort I need a space that’s large enough I am having mental growth spurts And it turns out universities are my one-way flight to get there So trynna hold your baby tight might only lead to despair We laugh, joke, converse, and look back at how I grew up Reminiscing on the times I started walking in those pull-ups At the end of the day, you’re still the lady I can lean on The woman I know raised me and my hero with no theme song Absorb this written letter into your heart soul and mind cheering in the stands you’re the fuel that charged my shine My final thought to leave you with will put your mind at ease A man’s a boss on his own But, a loving mother cultivates a King Love, your son
