JUST THREE WORDS TO SAY
A few days ago mom, you asked me what a mother meant,
I left it a question unanswered, I know your heart is bent,
I never meant to hurt you mom, I m sorry for what I did,
You did the very right thing, though, by calling me a kid,
But the truth is mom, too many words could answer your question, instead
The words were all jumbled up, inside my very own head.
Your question was a tough one mom, I didn t know what to say,
Except I m sorry, I love you, and I ll answer it this way:
You are one of the people mom, that I love the most in my life,
Although I unpurposly say things that stab you like a knife.
You are the only one mom, who guides me right where I have to be,
Although my words and actions really sting you like a bumblebee.
You give me the unexplainable power and hope I need mom, when facing danger or fear,
Although I often cost you a tiny water-drop on your face, a tear.
You teach me lessons and precious words mom, to guide me in positive vein,
Although I barely look in your eyes, those words deeply enter my brain.
You fill me with the best knowledge and advises mom, even when I take it for granted,
But I know you were there for me, to make this knowledge used like a beautiful song, chanted.
What I m trying to tell you mom, is that I thank you very much,
For all the times you were there for me, when you aided me with your soft touch.
I still have three more precious words mom, that I would extremely like to offer:
I love you and I m thankful each day, that you are my beautiful, loving, mother.
