Mother

Strength of ten horses to see a crisis through Soft as a rose petal when she's feeling blue Always has an answer for whatever problem avails If it's broken, she can fix it with a glue gun and some nails More talent than anyone should ever be allowed Put her on any stage and she can woo a crowd Always the first one there to help someone else No matter what troubles she's going through herself Crazy and dramatic at times calm and peaceful at others In case you're wondering I'm speaking of my mother If I had a hero in these troubled times it would have to be my mother for all she has survived Coming through stronger very single time So this is for you, my sweet mother for you have taught me all along No matter how weak I feel with yours and Gods help, I can be strong Thank you for those endless nights of fretting and praying over me Making sure that I'm okay or at least will someday be I am the person I am today all because of you Even when we disagree on what I'm supposed to do I'm writing you this poem to somehow let you know I'm glad you are me mother and that I love you so
