Mother Mine

I see you breathe, I watch you cry, I hear you laugh, Your my mother, mother mine. I lie, We fight, I break you down, Stubborn but fierce, An heir who's yet to bear your crown. You're the voice in my head, Telling me right from wrong, The never ending conscience, A repetitive song. I see your mournful, You're silent in days I've failed, Your my mother; my heart's in anguish, For your silence has ailed. My actions and choices, equivocal to say, That I'm doing my best to be more than I am, The babe you named and here to stay, I'll love you more with each passing day. I am what I am, A free spirit you bore, The tiny thing you held, I'm growing and still learning evermore. Your my mother, My creator, A woman so strong, My mirrored other, stubborn when we're wrong, I yearn for your words, Your hand to extend and feel your embrace, Never shall I surrender, never will I cease to try, For you're my mother, mother mine.
