~ Bags Under Her Eyes ~

She wakes early

She makes breakfast

She wakes me up

I laze around

I complain

She makes me lunch

She drops me to school

She kisses me goodbye

I'm embarrassed

I complain

She picks me up

She isn't as cool

She meets my friends

I'm ashamed

I complain

She solves my problems

She stays awake when I'm sick

She hugs me when I cry

I'm tired

I complain

"You have bags"

She looks at me confused

"Under your eyes"

She looks at me knowingly

"Is it because of me?"

"No it's not"

I shake my head disagreeingly

"It's cuz I dedicated my life to you"

I knew my tears were unstoppable

"It's because I love you"

She's a mother

She's my mother

She has bags under her eyes

And I never fail to

Complain

This is dedicated to the pearl of my heart, the queen of my kingdom, the red gem stone in my chest, my lovely mom... I love you ❤
