21st Poem: Mother to Me; Mother to All

You have always been

Like a mother to me.

In fact, you still are

Currently.

This is by me,

w/ a nudge from Gwene,

no particular rhyme scheme,

the lyrics to this poem free.

I have a few words,

that I'd like to say,

although, it's true, I

don't say them everyday:

Thank you for being there

whenever I needed an ear,

thank you for being there

throughout all of these years.

Thank you for being,

my ride everywhere,

(although, I know that with that one 

you must've shed a few tears).

Thank you for introducing new foods to me,

'cause, to be honest, I'm a real foodie.

Thank you for helping my dad, because

I know that's definitely not an easy task.

My cousin also says thanks,

for basically being her mom,

and so does Miss. K,

X, S, D, H, K, and Z's mom.

You take people in,

you try to help them grow,

and even if you didn't know,

we're pretty grateful you

Mother

Of

Many.

So, I wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
