Mother, I wish

Mother, I wish I could blame you

for all of life that I've gone through,

but I'm grateful that it was from you I was born.

Mother, I'm torn.

I wish that I knew you better,

and that in twenty years I'll get a letter

explaining all it was that I missed.

Mom, you're at the top of my list.

You keep my clothes dry and hold my mail,

and because of you I can never truly fail.

Not with the wisdom of your song.

Mom, one day I'll be gone.

But the sky will still illuminate blue,

since in the girl I love I'll always see you.

Mommy, for once I pray

that you have the most wonderful Mother's Day.
