Mom Poem by Ann McKinley

I wanted to say thank you.
For all the things you have helped me through.
It took a lot of courage Im sure,
To get me off of stupid
I know I am not easy to live with
And my moods always switch
But I applaud you for helping me fix this messed up kid
(me)
your strength everyday astounds me
And I live by advice you give me
Your support is much needed
and I just wanted to let you know
I am appreciative
For providing us with food, cloths, shelter
and a functional family
for my daughter to remember
I know I didn't come from your womb
But this is the truth
I will always be your daughter
And you my mother
I love you mom.
