dear: mother
happy mother's day happy mother's day happy mother's day
you truly do deserve it
thank you for everything you have done for me
most of which i couldn't imagine doing myself
thank you for the dedication you put into your career
and how much you've provided for us all
thank you for your patient waiting
when i get frustrated too soon
thank you for the support you show
when there's no way i deserve it
thank you for the advice you provide
when i've run out of clarity
thank you for the relentless maintenance
you keep when everyone else is busy
thank you for the inspiration that you are
when one day i have children of my own
thank you for the care you put into every gift
that is personalized to our very soul
thank you for your funniness and joy
that i'm thankful to have inherited
love: me
About the Creator
poetryinwaiting
I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
