For My Mom
i remember when i was small
the stories you told us
the hugs and laughs we had
the rides you took us on the bus
then as i got a little older
things started changing
you had more kids
so prioritys needed rearranging
i know life for you was hard
being poor with lots of kids
no time to yourself
tears that you hid
the anger inside you
took your spirit away
i still feel bad for you
even till this day
i know that you are gone now
i wished we had been friends
i always loved you
even until the end
you were my mom
nothing can ever change that
i really wouldnt want it too
no matter what
i just wished you knew
that i did care for you
a million times i tried
to tell you too
i hope you rest in peace
no hurting or pain
i hope you can love me
when i see you again
