Poem - Mom

For my mom

by CL

The one who holds me,

With tears falling down my cheeks.

Who I want to be,

With every moment love speaks.

Laugh at my antics,

Guide me to make the right choice.

Teaching me ethics,
I look to your smile and voice.

Shop until you drop,
Live off grilled cheese and ketchup,
Dance and never stop,
And don't let age grow you up.

Time passes, distance divides,
Whenever I need you, you're right by my side.
