Love Poem: Till the End

Till the End

You'll be there till the end
Even in the blow of the wind
You kept me since I was eight days old
As if I was a treasure of gold untold
You showed me wrong from right
And always tucked me in bed at night
When I came home with a bad note
I knew you would put me in the bad boat
When the teacher told you that I learned to read
You knew in your heart that I would later succeed
And when you found out that I got in a fight
You took my television for the rest of the night
When I started to throw things around
Things were always hard to be found
You may not be my biological mother
But to me you are different and like no other
Wearing dresses to church and my hair in curls
And you would always wear your beautiful pearls
Every morning when you did my hair
You always made sure I had something decent to wear
Even though we are living apart
You will always be in my heart
God knows we both care for each other
To you my number one foster mother
You know I will love you always
Even in the remaining days
To you Mommy, who is the best
I will love you always and forever
