Dear Momma

Your half of my identity
Your all of my heart
You’re my person to turn to
You’ve been from the start

You are my vision of an angel
Your are my prayers at night
Anytime there has been darkness
You’ve always been the light

You are the star in the sky that I follow
When I find myself lost
You have given me everything I needed 
No matter the cost 

You are my one true inspiration
You are one like no other
A beautiful strong individual
The one that I call mother

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : [email protected]
