Dedicated to Mom
A silent tear
slid down my cheek
As I paged through memories
bitter and sweet
Not many years have gone
by
Yet, remembering
still inspires me to cry
Back then, I was safe
Secure
enfolded in arms
that helped me mature
The bitter, violent world
held at bay
while, I grew
learned how to make my way
Although,
I resisted
Rules were insisted
Your firm, guiding hand
Stood its righteous stand
I took
Selfishly
You gave
Faithfully
I turned the wrong way
You
a strong tower
led me right
When I was critical
drawn away
You, built self-esteem
Inspired flight
Never did you
humiliate, put me aside
You let bygones be by
You –
Molded; morals, self-respect
Personality
Me
I hope Mom
You are proud
For I am proud
To be you
Creation
