A Note From Me To You

I long for the days I sat on her lap,

The rocking lulling me to sleep.

To think of all the times she picked me up

And brushed the tears off my cheeks.

I owe my mom so much.

 

I remember crawling up to her

With a pencil and a paper

To sit next to her chair as she talked on the phone.

I knew I wasn't to interrupt her work,

But I couldn't help but be drawn to her.

After all she was my mom

I used to play this little game

Where I would write

On the paper

"Do you love me? Circle

YES                   or                NO"

Of course she smiled

And waved her hand beckoning me to leave.

For she had to work to pay the bills

And give us something to eat.

But everyday in my room

Before i'd go to bed

She'd slip the note under my door

And it was always circled   YES.

I LOVE MY MAMA

And I always will.

Though I am not with her now

And hardly get to see her.

I think of those days when I was young

Sitting beneath her feet.

And a little smile comes to my mouth

when I think of  YES.

Very sweet poem it can be hard for parents (especially single parents) to manage to pay the bills and be a loving mother and role model for her kids too.
