Wow is mom upside down
For good reason
Always flipping around a frown
Okay sometimes creating one
And destroying my pompous crown
But never in an act of treason

Chasing away the boys
That were always teasin’
Engulfing me in warm hugs
Killing those scary bugs
Kicking ass of all those ghetto thugs
(Trust me she did)
This and so much more

Cooking food that I and everyone else adore
Taught me hard work
By making me scrub the floor
I’d kick and scream and slam the door
When she upset me or I didn’t get my way much more
But I’d always get a case
Of sorrow and guilt
Go apologize
And she’d kiss me on the side of my face

She made me wise
Definitely not someone I despise
I owe my life to her
On more than one occasion

When darkness came
She lit a flame
When I was hurt
She washed away the dirt
When I lay crying
She never took off flying

They say strong and protective is dad
But who is it that we go to when times are bad?
When the world makes us infuriated and mad,
When gone is everything we had,
When we’re sick and sad?

I don’t know how she does it
But she will never quit
Being amazing
And full of bright spring
There are a million adjectives and metaphors
That I could use to describe mom
But she knows how well she does her job
True this job doesn’t always make my heart throb
But she means best
I guess what I mean is
Despite all the protest
Tension and being stressed
I think you’re the best

Love you mom
