[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Happy Mother's Day

You are the bright light

I am the dark night

You sing a song of sweet content

I paint a melody of bitter fright

You are alive

I am the dead

You birthed me

And I birthed your pain

I know I am dark, a raven

I know you are bright, a dove

So I offer you my words

Though I have nothing else

Just me

And my words

Elaborate plays of color and love

Emit from you hands as swift as if treading water

Your wings spread wide in newfound glory

You live to bring life

The words flow out from me,

Collect in your arms

Then spill out again and you deceive the child

To make her laugh

You smile back

And hold your pain

You are my mother

And you change my world

You change my words

You are my guardian angel

Who holds me tight?

Why the one who raised me

The one who sees me

Who wants to understand me

And I wish for that to

And so I say I love you

My mommy

And of course

Keep on flying

Happy Mother's Day

And Thank you

My Mommy!!
