Dear Mom

For so long you made me feel like I belonged

I knew you’d never steer me wrong 

With you by my side I knew I’d always have a guide

But in the past year when I looked around and you weren’t here

Off in your room, only occasionally coming near

I left to somewhere far away and learned you’d only taught me to hide

Out on my own I learned how to grow 

Who I am now is hard to know 

But dear mother I’ll always love you like no other
