My Mom

You gave me life
Without you I would not be here
You have always been for me
When I was hungry when I was cold

You taught me to walk
You taught me to speak
You taught me to play
My Mum is good enough ..

But each of its chosen path
Now I grew up
I digress a little about yourself
Even if I did not want

I became a teenager
I am not easy to live
You covered me with gifts
But only your presence intoxicates

I love you despite all your love
For her may be stifling
I do not give you both back
Because I'm a big girl now

But you'll always be my Mom
