It's Mother's Day, Tomorrow

It's Mother's Day tomorrow, Mom

where do I even begin?

We've not had a good one in 9 long years

I wish there was a way I could make it up to you.

I haven't wanted to celebrate it at all

Haven't seen the need to, to be honest.

Well, I mean, I still sort of do

for my grandmas and my stepmom, too.

For you, though, mom..

I've not been able to celebrate it with you.

Soon, I'll even have a Mother-In-Law to spend it with..

but my time with anyone but you couldn't compare.

Mom, I love you, I hope you know

tomorrow, just like the last 9 years, I'll be in tears.

It's Mother's Day, tomorrow, Mom..

Where do I even begin..?
