Everything's Alright

I grew up on a farm
that was often boring, despite its charm.
As a form of detox
I loved to go on walks,
ignoring my mom's talks
for I knew she was scared, I'd come to harm.

It's scary by yourself,
I felt I might meet the Devil himself.
But, that never stopped me
I wanted to roam free 
where no one else would be
and in winter, I'd sneak out by myself.

On my way home, I'd go
past a cemetery shrouded in snow.
Rumored to hold a curse
some say, involves a hearse
and locals fear the worse
for strange sounds get heard when winter winds blow.

Once, I felt unsteady
and couldn't pass; I just wasn't ready.
There's nothing I could prove
but I was scared to move,
and things didn't improve
though I should've been back home already.

And then I saw mom's light,
never has there been a more welcome sight.
Though her eyes were glaring
and her tongue unsparing,
her scolding showed caring
and her heart whispered everything's alright.
