my mom

The screaming of pain brought me into this world 

the sweat of your brow brought food into our home 

the tears you wept to keep our home and family nit

the hugs you give calming my nerves 

the scores you put on the fridge 

the gradecards you signed 

the faith you put in me 

the days you think no one is watching 

the struggle you hide 

the struggle I see

the work you've done so unrewarded  

the college letter on the table 

the tears you weep knowing I got in 

the hug you give 

the love I shed 

I see what you have done 

I hear you cry about money 

I pray for our lives 

I thank having you 

out of everything 

out of it all 

my mom my rock.
