Mom

Wow is mom upside down For good reason Always flipping around a frown Okay sometimes creating one And destroying my pompous crown But never in an act of treason Chasing away the boys That were always teasin’ Engulfing me in warm hugs Killing those scary bugs Kicking ass of all those ghetto thugs (Trust me she did) This and so much more Cooking food that I and everyone else adore Taught me hard work By making me scrub the floor I’d kick and scream and slam the door When she upset me or I didn’t get my way much more But I’d always get a case Of sorrow and guilt Go apologize And she’d kiss me on the side of my face She made me wise Definitely not someone I despise I owe my life to her On more than one occasion When darkness came She lit a flame When I was hurt She washed away the dirt When I lay crying She never took off flying They say strong and protective is dad But who is it that we go to when times are bad? When the world makes us infuriated and mad, When gone is everything we had, When we’re sick and sad? I don’t know how she does it But she will never quit Being amazing And full of bright spring There are a million adjectives and metaphors That I could use to describe mom But she knows how well she does her job True this job doesn’t always make my heart throb But she means best I guess what I mean is Despite all the protest Tension and being stressed I think you’re the best Love you mom
