For My Mom

Mom, I love you. I love you more than words would be able to tell. Sometimes I love you more than myself even. It just seems like I can’t ever really tell you. I use the wrong words, say it at the wrong time, but I love you. I love you more than the moon and stars. I love you so much! I’m so sorry that your life has been this bad. I’m sorry that you fought with grandpa, I’m sorry! I’m sorry that what my grandpa said to you makes you feel unloved, but as the song goes you never need to be alone, I will love you from dusk till dawn, mom I’m right here! I’m right here mom! I love you so much, I hate it when you cry, when I make you cry I am so sorry. I am right here! I am by your side! I will never leave you no matter how many times I get hurt! I am so sorry for the life that you have lead that has brought you to this, But then again I’m not. It’s not that I don’t feel sorry for what has happened to you, But that I am glad you went through it. Had you not I wouldn’t have the mom I have right now. The one that always is there for me. The one that no matter what kind of day I have had will still be there. The one that was left to fend for themselves. The one that was unsure about everything The one that couldn’t ever smile. I am glad you went through all of that because guess what! I got you. The mom that cries on my shoulder when my brother laughed. I got the broken mom, but to me you are whole! To me your pain is a sign of grit. To me no one can replace you! To me you somedays feel like the only one that I have. Somedays it feels like you’re the only one to care. You mom are all I need. No matter what you say or do no matter How many times I shatter at you saying something. I love and admire you! I don’t care how many times I silently cry, I love you! Your imperfection, your funny laugh. How you sing the wrong lyrics, I love you! You are perfect the way you are! I love you!
