Child Poems
+2A mother is special, she’s more than a friend.
Whenever you need her, she’ll give you a hand.
She’ll lead you and guide you in all that you do.
Try all that she can just to see you get through.
Good times and bad times, she’s there for it all.
Say head up, be proud, and always stand tall.
She’ll love you through quarrels and even big fights, or heart to heart chats on cold lonely nights.
My mother’s the greatest that I’ve ever known, I think God made my mother like He’d make his own.
A praiser, a helper, an encourager too, nothing in this world that she wouldn’t do.
To help us succeed she does all that she can, raised a young boy now into a man.
I want to say thank you for all that you do, please always know mom, that I love you.

0Never Enough
Sometimes I know the words to say to give thanks for all you’ve done, But then they fly up and away as quickly as they come.
How could I possibly thank you enough, the one who makes me whole, the one to whom I owe my life, the forming of my soul.
The one who tucked me in at night, the one who stopped my crying, the one who was the expert, at picking up when I was lying.
The one who say me off to school and spent sad days alone, yet magically produced a smile, as soon as I came home.
The one who makes such sacrifices to always put me first, who lets me test my broken wings, in spite of how it hurts.
Who paints the world a rainbow when it’s filled with broken dreams, who explalins it all so clearly when nothing is what it seems.
Are there really any words for this, I find this question tough, anything I want to say just doesn’t seem enough.
What way is there to thank you for your heart, your sweat, your tears, for ten thousand things you’ve done for oh so many years.
For changing with me as I changed, accepting all my flaws, not loving cause you had to, but loving just because.
For never giving up on me when your wits had reached its end, for always being proud of me, for being my best friend.
And so I come to realize, the only way to say, the only thank you that’s enough is clear in just one way.
Look at me before you see what I’ve become, do you see yourself in me, the job that you have done?
All your hopes and all your dreams, the strength that no one sees, A transfer over many years, your best was to pass me.
Thank you for the gifts you give for everthing you do, but thank you mommy most of all for making dreams come true.

0 I was watching you sleep the other day
And prayed that it would last
The peace that rested on your face
I’d never seen in the past
I was watching you speak a while ago
And hoped that you’d go on
The way your words, they had no end
Your Spirit seemed so strong
I was watching you fight the other day
And prayed my tears would dry
All this I knew was done for me
And couldn’t figure out why
I was watching you smile a couple of days ago
And stared in total awe
Was it me who made you shine?
Was that triumph that I saw?
And all this time you’ve waited
And all this time you’ve helped
And all the things you sacrificed
For me to grow up well
And all the tears you’ve dried
And all the pain you soothed
And all the truths you have to hide
Without one simple Thank You
But I was watching you today
And I realized that I can’t wait
To tell you how much I appreciate
And love you in every way
Thanks Mom

0 What do you expect me to do or say, after you up and left, treating me this way?
What do you expect me to think now, when the only thing I want to know is how?
How could you walk away, just turn your back on me?
What is that you think your lies will help me see?
How can you sit so far away and blame things on my dad?
It’s your fault, you left, and he’s all I had.
Did you ever look back or hug me good-bye?
Why didn’t it hurt you to see me cry?
Even though you’ll never see my tears, I’ve been silently crying for the past 15 years.
You never saw me in my Kindergarten play, but I guess its better off that way.
You never saw me go to my first school dance, you’ll never see it now, and you blew that chance.
You weren’t there to help me get over my first true love, but without you I still managed to rise above.
Did you share in the joy of my graduation? Because that was a true celebration.
I’ve grown up before everyone’s eyes except yours; you don’t see that kind of thing behind closed doors.
So I will continue to smile and move on without you, while you sit there and do whatever it is you do.
Because it’s too late to be mommy I’m all grown up now, and I’m making it somehow.
And I’ll continue to make it through, just like any other day without you.

0 Most people think of a hero as a superstar
My hero is an everyday person
My hero is my Mom.
My mom is a hero she stands for hope
My mom is a person you see every day
My mom is there when I’m trying to cope
My mom was there when I was little and all I wanted to do was play.
My mom is strong and has beat all odds
My mom is a teacher and works hard at her job
My mom is a hero, she is my crystal ball
My mom is a hero who I know, will catch me if I fall.
My mom is my shining star
She is the one I look to when times are hard
Sure she isn’t perfect but she isn’t that far from it
But to me she is as perfect as any mom could be.
Mom you are my hero, my everything!
*This poem is dedicated to my mom and all the moms around the globe*

0 You have been around for many years
You helped me laugh you have dried my tears.
You gave me life and helped me see
How I can grow up and what I can be.
You’re a special person and I know you care
But sometimes it seems like you’re just not there.
You have been threw rough times
And you stuck them threw
That is one of the most important things I learned from you.
You give me things I need
You push me through life with the attitude to succeed.
I know it doesn’t seem I appreciate much that you do
But I want you to know I do
Because I really truly do look up to you.
We have our differences
We have our fights
But when their over I look forward to them kisses goodnight.
Not for the fact that I am leaving and going to bed
But for the kisses and the I love yous that are said.
Well mom this is dedicated to you
So now I am stopping this with an
I LOVE YOU!

0 For all the things you have done
Every morning rose the sun.
Off to work you would go.
At home love to us you show.
For all the sacrifices you have made
Keeping us warm when you were in the shade.
So many things I have put you through
So many things I wish I could undo.
To you I owe my life
for you have sacrificed
all your dreams and hopes
to help me fly and be my support rope.
Without you I wouldn’t know what to do
But this I know is absolutely true
Mother, Mom, Ma I love you
