Mom

Many nights you spent by my side 
With care and love, endlessly, you provide
Many times you wiped away my tears
Eminent is your strength throughout the years
When I lose my balance, my hand you hold 
When I’m lost in the dark, you’re the light I behold 
When I’m confused along the road 
You help me find the way before I explode
You showed me what’s right & wrong, when I thought it’s all the same
At the right moment, your hugs and Kisses to me they came
You even called to check on me when I needed your voice 
As if you felt, I wasn’t ok; your soothing words help me rejoice 	
Your love and wisdom add a value to my life 
Your prayers are my shield throughout any strife
I can go on forever but I will seal it with a kiss 
I love you forever my mom, my bliss

I began crying as I read your poem. My mom and I don't get along most of the time, but without her I would truely be lost.

My favorite topic in poetry, not when I write it, but when I read tributes like this. One love

Your mother is lucky to have a child who appreciates her so much. I hope you've shown this to her. It would make her proud!
