dear mom,
i’ve done many things before,
some reckless and which you don’t approve.
i’ve done many things before,
most unsafe which scare you.
i’ve done many things before,
a few inconsiderate and rude.
regardless of everything i’ve done,
you still say,
“i love you.”
i’ve said many things before,
some that make you sad and cry.
i’ve said many things before,
most that make you laugh and smile.
i’ve said many things before,
a few that pierce and hurt you.
regardless of everything i’ve said,
you still say,
“i love you.”
i’ve been many places before,
some of which are not too far.
i’ve been many places before,
most of which are so close by.
i’ve been many places before,
this one being long and hard.
i say i miss you most,
but you don’t let that slide.
regardless of everywhere i’ve been,
you still say,
“i love you.”
dear mom,
thanks for all you do,
and all you are.
thanks for being there,
when times are easy,
and when times are hard.
thanks for loving me,
even when i’m not so kind.
thanks for being my best friend,
and never leaving me behind.
there’s not enough ways to thank you
for all the things you’ve done
for all the things you are,
so now it’s my turn to tell you,
i love you with all my heart.
