Moment

I remember every second of my life I spent with you, 
Every moment that I stayed beside you. 
The times I dedicated to help you, to save you from harm, 
I did that just to help you through. 

Every minute of my life that I walked beside you, 
Every minute we smiled together.
It may wear me away, but I’ll gladly stay by your side as long as I can, 
I’ll be with you forever.

Every hour of my life I spent hugging you tight, 
Every hour we laughed the night away, 
Of course I remember it all, how could I ever forget? 
Even when you tell me to go, I’ll just smile and stay. 

Every day I spent supporting you, to make you happy. 
Even if I cannot be happy myself, it’s fine when I see you smile. 
When I see you cry, I’ll always be there to make you feel better, 
Even if I cry my days away, seeing you smile is worth my while. 

Every week I left you, I regret it because I can’t see you, I can only hear you, 
Every day in that week I can’t see your face, it hurts me more and more. 
When I can’t hug you tight or see you smile, 
The pain hurts me at the core. 

Every month and year we have left together, I’ll stay by your side, 
Smiling gently, for you are the person I’ll love forever. 
Even when that time comes, I will continue to smile because I still,  
Remember that first moment of my life we were together.   

This is for you, mother, you’ve taught me all the rest. 
For you, I hope nothing but the best.

a mother love -- a strong bond . . . I have three daughters and I sometimes get jealous of the close bond they have with my wife . . . I know they love me and we have our fun but it's mom they love and fight with and then hug and laugh. Loved your poem. Light and love.
