What Is A Mother?

(poems go here) What is a mother? What is my mother? What is she? Can someone tell me? No, well mom you tell me Tell me, what I am supposed to see? Is it perhaps love? Well no it cannot hun 'Cause I find it hard to find I've been searching but tick goes the time I'm running out of patience And I don't think you can make it The deadline is approaching And I can't keep on holdin' To what? You say To the woman who brings me pain Who never washed away my tears Who didnt help me conquer my fears Who stood by while I grew up Watched me as I stood up To rise above to make it out To not look back and leave the doubt I'm sorry momma if this hurts But all that pain, we didnt deserve And all the broken promises still reside And you were never there by my side So I had to grow up and mature And now I can say that I am more All the hardships you put me through Molded this girl to something new And through it all I can stand here and say That I love you momma and that'll never change I want you to know that it's not you I blame I understand what you were going through, the pain I have forgiven you for what you've done Its in the past and we have finally overcome.
