A True Mother

 

I know I always said

That my dad you shouldn’t have wed,

And I told you in a voice that was strong

That you’d never be my mom.

But I’m actually really glad

That you married my dad,

And I thank you for all you have done

To make our family one.

 

Despite the fights and slammed doors,

All your opinions that I ignored,

The pouts, insults, and tears,

Of those long and painful years,

You still managed to take care of me

And because of that you will always be

Someone special like no other –

My patient, kind and true mother.
