A poem About My Mum

Rachel

The woman I care for more then any other 

the one who is always there my wonderful mother 

you will never realise how much you truly made me grow

this poem I write for you my feelings on show

I remember the bad times I’m sorry I must say 

I wish I wasn’t so helpless to protect you

 from him at least one day

you were so strong to keep our family from falling apart

even if him coming home shouting would often break your heart

now I am older I realise how great you are

staying within your heart even if I live far 

I feel we have spoken more as adults then when I was young

but I don’t regret this change im proud to be your son

Remembering times dropping books on your head

mothers cruel jokes pretending that your dead 

joining my library supporting my dream

being there whilst I was broken hearted

always being there my shoulder to which my head lean

I’m sorry for my insults but future illness I cant bare

wishing you would cut down so you will always be there

your looks and laugh I take from your genes

your love and your comfort ive needed from my teens

now I’m a man to which I hope you are proud

you’re my rock my protector not another face in the crowd

I love you mum don’t you ever forget

not telling you as frequent is all I regret
