Mother

A Poem by Inkybro

With eight healthy children, a happy family,
There's nothing else in this world that I would rather see,
Your love and support has never failed or ceased,
Mother, all that care and all that love I could never meet,
You've never failed to nurture me or my desire to know,
And it is for your heart and your mind that I love you so,
I know it doesn't always show, sometimes I seem so blank,
But the way I feel comes out in different ways,
And it is not with intention that I'm an introvert,
It's simply the way I am, I know sometimes it hurts,
I'm self-absorbed and self-concerned, I know it isn't right,
But the time I get to myself makes me strong inside,
And all that time I get to think and ponder life itself,
Has made me smart and put me on a level by myself,
Whether it's a bad thing or not I still have yet to know,
But I think about it everyday, is it worth being all alone,
Is knowledge really everything, or capacity worthwhile?
Would ignorance be bliss, to not know a thing and smile,
I may be wrong about many things, but one thing I know for sure,
Is you are truly the most loving mom, and your care is truly pure,
So let me tell you here and now that you think about me wrong,
I love you more than anything, you're the one who made me strong
