My mom What you love most is being our mom Forces against it seem to pull you down Out the nest, we still needed our mom You said I loved to cuddle I love you more than the stars Know when you slip away, you’ll never leave where we are Here always strong Always did us right from timeouts to birthdays around I’m struck with how you did anything to work your way around us Surrounded us as lunch-lady, security guard, or should I say West High hallway monitor We came back home So devoted and oh so doting, having food and clothes for us Still you showed us tough love So if something went wrong, we handled it proud So in awe Hard-working does not begin to describe about it You followed onward As long as you’re good, we’re good As long as we’re good, you were, are Can you be gone? Just know when your shell leaves, I always knew how much we meant to you and you to me, us Love you, mom
