I love you you know- no really I do!
Well most of the time, more often than not,
Except for that time, when you had the flu,
you got me so sick! I haven’t forgot.

Another thing that made me mad was when
you didn’t give me ice cream before bed
and I stomped off and called you names again,
I said mean things like “I wish you’d drop dead!”

So you took away my toys and T.V.
I sat all alone, away in my room,
I thought right then that you didn’t love me
and the terrible thought filled me with gloom.

But then you hugged me,and filled me with calm,
and then I felt better- love you lots mom!

I truly like it. It's a beautiful little sonnet and most of all very truthful. It happens to me too, from time to time. However, every single time I say this is it, she made so angry! I won't talk to her anymore. But I never keep my word lol I don't know how...may be becuz there's something so strong relating the mother to her child. So unbreakable that nothing and no one can tear appart. I just love her so much even when she doesn't make my life easy ;) lol well actually she does but to us it always seems like they are ruining our lives, right?! Thank you for sharing this, it was beautiful and sweet in someways. Sorry if I talked a lot :P Keep it up.
