Dear Mom

You're always there for me
To wipe away my tears
When I feel sick, you 
Take care of me
You've watched me laugh
And get angry 
At stupid, little things
You lift me up
When I feel down
You pick me up
When I fall
You're always encouraging me
Especially when I am 
Ready to give up
You don’t let me slack off 
On my grades
No matter how much I don’t 
Like the teacher
You make me feel like a
Beautiful princess
Even when I don't believe it
You tell me I don’t
Need a man
I’m an independent young lady
It doesn't matter how many
Times I make the same stupid
Mistake
You tell me it’s okay
As long as I don't do it again
Even though I probably will
I irritate you in so many ways
But you still love me
We get in fights over dumb stuff
Whether it be what I wear or 
Whose turn it is to do the laundry
But you still love me
I don't have much more time left 
In this old house
But I just wanted to let you know
How much you mean to me
I love you, Mom
