To Mommy "I'm sorry", Mommy! Sometimes I failed to keep your command. When you told me, "Don't do this or that!" I often transgressed what you impart. I should have followed all your advice For they shape my being Yet sometimes I pursued my boisterous actions. Please, forgive me, Mommy. "Thank you", Mommy! For everything you've done for me For letting me see the light And experience what is morning and night. You could have killed me when I was still an infant Or aborted me when I was still in your womb. But because you love me so much You cared for me till I grew up. If you were not there, what would my life be? "I love you", Mommy! Your love for me is beyond compare. I can freshly remember my childhood, When I needed a thing, you sated my craving. When I called you, "Mommy! Mommy!" You were always there to give me a hug. When I was thirsty, you handed me a glass of water, at once. When I was hungry, you quickly gave me a plate of my favorite food. When I was sleepy, you affectionately lulled me to sleep. I will forever treasure your kindness, Mommy. "God bless you", Mommy! May the Almighty give you more energy, That you can keep on bestowing your kindness and generosity Not only for me but for everyone you meet everyday. |

I find it interesting that you have started this piece with an apology!! I guess we all feel you have come somewhat short of what was expected of us..even though we have been loved and nurtured and cared for..why the regrets I wonder? You have had a much happier relationship with your mother from what I can tell from this write..but no matter the experience I have from your first stanza realized that we all have the feeling of failure to some extent. I like the innocence of this piece, the feel of childhood throughout and enjoyed your lines. thanks for sharing.
