Thank you


The time creates a clock

That ticks

Ticks like the problems in my life

That stick

With you it scrubs away

That’s it

And my heart flicks on

Like a switch

You impacted my life

I admit

And you kept me out of what they call

Misfit

To this new light

I submit

And I thank you for

Allowing me to fit

You are my mom and I love you

Thank you for all of this

Changing how I see the light of day

And the way I view my self

Changing the way, I pursue my life

Changing because of your help
