Dear Mother

A/N: The inspiration for this poem comes from "Dear Father" by PRETTYBRI27.  It's like a sister poem to that poem. I would recommend you to check hers out because it's amazing. I hope my poem does hers justice.

Dear Mother

The woman who was always here

One person I could rely on

I knew you'd never disappear

Unlike my father who had run

The times when I was in tears

As father had once again gone

You were there to wipe them away

And told me to hold on

Dear Mother

When I had fallen and ended up in hospital

You held my hand until I had woken

You made my stay funny and comical

The subject of my absent father was left unspoken

You later had found another man

He left you like father had done

But you carried and went on

Found another who was better than father by a ton

Dear Mother

I'm all grown up now

I know you're very proud

As you've watched me grow

Oh, how long you have prayed

Although I still do wonder at times

About the words father would have said

Leaving us behind was his biggest crime

But now all I will do is look ahead

Dear Mother

You're the strongest person I know

But now it is my turn to look after you

You should know I would never let you go

I'll be the person you turn to

I know now father has another

I know he is old and slow

But he knows he is a bother

It's his fault we're his biggest woe

Dear Mother

All you've ever been is good

Your love as immense as the sea

I wish you could

See just how much you mean to me
