You clean, you sweep, you cook
I ruin, I dirty, I eat
You buy me things, give me books
So here I give you this treat


You wipe the tears away
You hug me and squeeze me tight
You stay with me all day
Even though we may fight

You give it your all
You give it all to me
Even though sometimes I fall,
I want you to see…
How much I love you, mommy!

This and many of these poems are dedicated to my mom. I wrote these for her on her birthday. Hope you like this.
