My Mom's Ways

I wrote this for my mom, who has not yet seen it. I'm really close with my mom, so this poem has lots of meaning in it.

Picking me up,

off the dusty grounds,

the sandy floors,

the pool of hurt,

with a helping hand.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

I come home crying,

she holds me close at heart,

and tells me nothing but

stories to fill me with laughter.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

Having a hard day,

there to encourage me,

she stands with strength, beauty,

and is my rolemodel.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

I'm lost, just confused

She guides me through the rough,

rocky weather.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

I get that needy feeling,

and she reminds me

the best of everything there is to be thankful for.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

I get an atittude,

so she tells me things

to help me learn, grow, express.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

I make constant mistakes,

which she may not agree with,

but in the end, she's there

to listen, support, and talk to.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

I start to laugh, scream, shout,

she looks at me like I'm crazy,

but does it along to.

For I'm her daughter,

shes my mother,

and we through our hands,

in the air, like glitter in a parade,

and do nothing but have a blast.

It's one of my Mom's ways.

Author's Note

I just really need to say- some people really take their parents for granted. But just know, you wouldn't be where you are today without your parents. This message or this poem may be cheesey to some people.. but to me it means a lot.

This was beautiful. A completely true piece of poetry. So many people don't realize how lucky they are to just have a mother or father that cares for them. I'm glad that you can be so close to your mom. That will be a bond that you'll remember forever. I enjoyed this poem very much, and it was very well written. Stuffed with delicate emotion. Very nice work.
