A Poem For You Mother

I ran and ran but you never knew,
That all this time I did it for you.
I stayed awake all night,
The sleep I would fight.

But when I dreamed and you were there,
I had somebody to care.
To take the monsters away,
To sing to me all day.

To read to me everytime,
I was yours and you were mine.
I was so small in your arms,
You kept me away from all the harms.

I wore a dress and you a skirt,
You were always up and alert.
Even at work when you were gone,
Your love for me just shone.

I am not saying this for any other,
Yes I'm writing about you mother.
