Thank You


Dear mom, Thank you for your guidance Thank you for your smiles I am sorry for my defiance But why won’t you let me go 1000 miles? Oh dear mom, Thank you for helping me see Thank you for helping me try I am sorry for losing my key But why won’t you let it go by? Sweet mother, Thank you for never having a doubt Thank you for being uplifting I am sorry for making you shout But why won’t you stop pretending? Mama, Thank you for understanding Thank you for my comfort I am sorry if you are suffering But why won’t you divert Really mom, Thank you for your love Thank you for your heart I am sorry if I shove But why won’t you just start? Dear mom, Thank you for your guidance Thank you for your smiles I am sorry for my defiance But why won’t you let me go 1000 miles?

I wrote this poem for my mom. It's all about reading between the lines.
