You'll Always Be My Mother

I gave this to my mom after I cleaned up the last boxes from my room when I moved out. I started to cry before she even read it.

You'll always be my mother

my one true life companion,

I'll love you till the day I die

and cherish memories that have been.

You were always there to hold my hand

when I needed you,

to lift me in a time of need

and show me what to do.

You walked with me through snow and rain

no matter where we'd go,

never thinking that the trail would end

our destination we would not know. 

But we did not need a destination

to put a smile on our face,

as long as we were there together

we would not care what place.

I know we've had our arguments 

and I know we've had our fights,

but I never truly hated you

I just loved you out of sight.

Now seventeen years of chasing trails

we've come to a fork in the road,

but together we can pull on through 

and handle this heavy load.

Though I may be gone, I'll never leave

that spot inside your heart,

I'll remember all the times we had

your my life's most important part.

You'll always be my mother

my one true life companion,

I'll love you till the day I die

and cherish memories that have been.

I love you mom

And I always will.

Aww, this is so sweet. X3 I really loved the line with "I just loved you out of sight." This is a good way to put it. :3 I know I had those same moments with my mom when I was younger, and sometimes still do. XD It always happens with parents, I think, because we know they'll never stop loving us, so it's okay to be mad at them. lol
But this is a very good and very sweet poem.

"I just loved you out of sight".... words only between child and mother... the feeling is always returned from mother to child... keep emoting, keep writing, keep playing music... you're great!
