Letter To My Mother
Dear Mom, It’s hard to think of things to say
about you that already you don’t know.
The ways you worked hard each and every day
and sacrifices made so we’d all grow
with good things that in life would see us through.
You took us all to church so right from wrong
we’d realize and know that God is true.
Because of trials, also we grew strong
because you’ve been a model to us all
of persevering when things go awry.
I know how you suffered when you were small.
Your self-esteem was low, yet still you’d try
to break away though you endured much strife.
Thanks, Mom; for this we had a decent life.
