Mother

To my mother
How I love you so
And it breaks this childs heart
That I am not there
You were there from the start
You birthed me, raised me
You fed me, bathed me
Taught me what was right
Kept me from what was evil
How I love you so
You are everything and more
And you gave me everything
I can only hope
Someday I will return the favor
And I am sorry
For all the pain and tears
I may have caused
Rebellious and stupid I was
But I see now
You are what I adore
How I love you so
Mother may I
Say that, you are the world
And I shall never forget it
One day I shall return home
To take you home
My home will be yours
How I love you so

Older entry I know, but in the spirit of mothers day I wanted to re-visit it.
