To My Mom

October 14, 2018

Surprise, surprise! Expand the family tree

Don’t listen to others, please keep me

Work hard, no social life, spare your time

Sacrifice your life for the betterment of mine

I promise I will try to do as you please

Smile at the camera, always say “cheese!”

But sometimes, my rebellious side gets the best of me

We fight, argue, don’t speak to each other on days

You were trying to say “I love you” in your own ways

Making sure I stayed on the road to success

So I didn’t have to make the same choices that you had to digress

You pushed me, always gave me a lesson through the smallest events

As I went through life and all its contents

So here’s an ode to you, mom, in all its disarray

I’ve never called you my hero, looks like today is the day.
