Mom

If I had one last wish to make 

it would have to be, 

that God would heal my mom 

and give her pain to me. 

For I've never seen my mom hurt 

so bad in all my life, 

I'd do anything and everything 

to take her pain and strife. 

She's the only one who 

never lost complete faith in me, 

without her here by my side 

I'm not sure where I'd be. 

We didn't always get along 

but then again who does, 

she taught me about the Real world 

and what life really was. 

I think I owe her one 

for all the hell I put her through, 

so God 

if you can grant this wish for me 

I'll eternally be grateful to you. 

And if my mom ever decides to ask 

why her life suddenly changed this way, 

do me a favor 

and let her know 

that I said Happy late Mother's Day.
