Dear Mom

time flys

You have been there for eighteen long year's

And every smile and every tear

You taught me how to walk and read

And bought me everything I would need

Or when I would cry when you had to go to work

Then you would come home and I would be waiting with a big smirk

From all our shopping spree's

To finding new people on our family tree

Threw elementary, middle, and high school

You've made me realize education is a main tool

Eighteen year's has gone by so fast

At least the memories will always last

Family over everything

The love I will always bring

Threw all the pain and sorrow

You would always tell me the sun will come out tomorrow

You are truly my best friend

And I will love you till the very end

Soon I will graduate

Just another memory to celebrate

And as the day's grow old

Photo's you can forever hold

Always remember

I will love you forever

I wish to have no other

I'm proud to call you my mother

Author's Note

On my eighteenth birthday I wrote this poem and made my mom a scrapbook of picture's from the past eighteen years with the poem inside.
