Mom

A poem to my mother, Rose

Mom

You brought me into the world

I saw the light

I took my first breath

And as I cried

You said

“Pleased to meet you”

If I had known how to talk

I would have said

“Please to meet you, too”

You are the only gal for me

And I love you

Mom

 

I looked nothing like you

Mom

But people can tell

That we are mother

And daughter

By the way we laugh together

And chat together

And fight

Mom

 

When we found out about

My having albinism

You were right there

Holding me tight

As I cried

 

When Grandma died

You went away

But I realized

That you did it

To get better

And be able to protect me once again

 

I hug and kiss you

Every night

Because I know

That you’re always there

To hug and kiss me back

 

Mom
