Especially For You Mom

I'm writing this poem for you, mom

because I want this poem to be,
my own special way of showing you
how much you mean to me.
I have so much to say
and I don't think this poem will do,
but each word in between these lines
comes straight from my heart for you.
I know I haven't been a perfect son,
but you've taken things in stride,
and no matter how many problems I've had
you've always been by my side.
I could talk to you about whatever I felt,
because I knew that you'd understand,
all that you asked from me in return
was to stand up and be a man.
If I asked you for some advice
you never have told me no,
and if I made a dumb mistake
you've never said I told you so!
You've always treated me real special
and sometimes I don't understand why.
But when I think about how I've hurt you
it makes me want to cry.
This is an apology for the mistakes I've made
and the conflicts that we've had,
for all the times I've hurt you
and for all the times I've made you mad.
I wrote this especially for you mom,
this is my cry out to you.
To let you know how sorry I am
and how much I really love you.

All You Are To Me

Thank you, Mom...

for the love, strength, and care,
for in this world that is quite rare.
For being my guardian and my guide
on those sad days when I cried.

I'm proud of you because...

you never gave up hope when the times were hard.
You kept going forward through it all, yard by yard.
You have never let others change who you are.
You have always shown me that you're my favorite star.
You move through the unknown with strength,
no matter how far the length.

I would have never been here today....

without your motherly advice,
without your ultimate sacrifice.
Without the support I needed,
I never would have succeeded.
Without your unbounded love,
I could never stay above.

I just wanted you to know....

I will always stand by your side.
I will give back and be your guide.
I will fight for you in the hard times,
even if all I have are a few dimes.
I will never lose my faith in you.
My love for you is always true.

I will always be there

on those days you are hurt and sad
and you feel everything is going bad.
I will hold you in my arms and say
I'm glad to be with you here today.
When you feel you are alone
I will be your chaperone.

So thank you, Mom.

I love you so much!
Never forget, the support and love I have for you will never diminish.
You are one of the strongest people I know,
so don't let anyone else's evil decisions or careless actions
change who you are today.
You are better than all of them and stronger in every way.

From your son's heart

-Jessie

Dear Mum

There's no one in this world

Who knows me quite like you.
If ever I'm in need,
You're the first one I turn to.

You're the reason that I'm here,

Blessed with life itself.
You have always cared for me
In sickness and in health.

I think we've grown together.

We've laughed and we've cried,
But no matter what's been thrown our way,
You've always been by my side.

Although you're my mum.

You are also my best friend,
A friendship I am proud to say
Will never, ever end.

When I have my children,

I hope I'm half as good as you
At being a mum and friend to them,
No matter what they go through.

And whenever you need me, Mum,

My arms are open wide.
I'm blessed that I'm the only one
That's felt your heart beat from inside.
