Happy Birthday Mom

It's my mom's birthday tomorrow, so I wrote her this poem. I'm a poor college student and this could be her last birthday (she has stage 4 breast cancer), hope she likes it!

The light in this house illuminates roses and hearts

While the melody accommodates laughter and farts

 The conversation is of Chili Peppers and dad

And that the nerdy look will always be more than a fad

 

You understand my weirdness and I love yours

Maybe it’s because we both don’t like The Doors

Either way we both know the intention

When we turn over and re-pay attention

 

I know some days I sit here like a stone

With a quite look and my voice baritone

But always know that you’re the bomb

I love you, and couldn’t ask for a better mom

She will adore this poem, as do I! What a lovely and personal gift you gave her!

Thank you, I really appreciate that! Sometimes it feels as if I'm sending my work into the abyss on here, it means a lot to me that you took your time to give me those kind words. I'll be happy to read some of your work as well, I probably will tomorrow just because I'm pretty tired now :)
