Mothers' Day

All you need to do is find value.

.../...
My young mind wondered far from the feeling of having to fret.
I never even thought I'd have to say goodbye
To a woman I'll never forget.

I did terrible things back then, yet you only humbly smiled.
I couldn't comprehend it as a way to carpe diem,
Because I was only just a child!

I could consult you for anything,
But I never thought for how long that'd be.
You're not here now, but thank you for everything.

I'd be very happy if you were here, especially today,
So I could tell you how much I love you
And say "Happy Mothers' Day".

No use pouting, I suppose, but today's a day of appreciation... There are people you love, right? :]

Awh... No words to describe this. (: Great poem! It's very lamentable but you speak the truth. There are many people one can appreciate and love on Mothers' Day without this person being your own mother, yeah? :D
