Ode to my Mom

To the women who is frantic

Worried about me more than herself

I see transparency

You are not fooling me

I love you for what you do, can’t you see


 You struggle for me

Like an old feeble chair lifting a seated person

You are my foundation

I am who I am because of you

If it were not for you, I would not make it through


Being broken with backs against the wall

If not for your strength, crushed we would be

I just hope that you see

The things you go through, are beyond me

You have ran a million miles, so I could take one step


I do not take you for granted

You are that strap on my chest in the car

The shelter that gives me a home

The only one who makes me feel not alone

The safety in my life, is you

 

To the woman who is frantic

I love you

Immensely, I do

Your smile screams of worry, for me

I wish you were worry free, as you would see life gets easy.
