Change Poem by Don Bukana

Change

Rating: 4.8


I tried so hard to be your perfect child
but in your eyes I turned out wild
Yeah, sometimes I did lie
but Mom, I really did try
and I'm still trying to change to this day
Trying to change my horrible ways
^
trying to be a better son
trying to be a better brother but problems just flow like water
My eyes are burning from the tears
but now I will try if you do too
'cause Mommy, I'm trying to change for you.

What a wonderful poem, reminds me of my two sons, they were always trying to please me also. I would tell them how proud I was of them, respected them, they are both fantastic men, great gentle fathers providing for their families. Always doing things for us, their parents, taking us out to eat, getting things for us, and they both call us every single day to see how we're doing. As a Mom, Grandma, Aunt and Great Aunt, I am truly blessed in this life. Make your Mom see your love and caring in a poem just for her, show your unique self in the love you have for her, let it be all about her and how she makes you feel. It will definitely touch her heart in ways you will never expect. Take care, Don. You are an excellent poet. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

Eyes are burning from the tears of emotion. Trying to become a better child is interesting. Promise given to mother is tender. Her affection gives power of feelings. Changing life into a good personality is great aspect. This is very emotional and an outstanding affectionate poem...10
