I Love You More
Your my dinner date
white-cheesey mac and cheese
Mommy don't forget
my not-too-hot-green-sweet peas
game nights and holidays
when I get to be the hostess
are kept next-best to
Mommy I love you the mostest
when money's tight
and the hot rod leaves us carless
I pull myself together
to reply, I love you the farthest
you wanna dance Mom?
we are the flyest
swing spin twirl
Mommy I love you the highest
music and boogy
burdens become their lightest
I've got you this time
I love you the brightest
"get dressed" I say and say and say
these underwear are clean Mom
I just put them on
yesterday
to myself I often think
small is how I wish for you to keep
but then you'd never grow or know
that my love for you runs deep
when you're hurt tired or hungry
Your need for me is clear
I love that I'm the one you ask
Mommy will you wipe my tear
bedtime stories snuggles hugs and kisses
you ask will I stay up the latest
and keep competing
Mommy I love you the greatest
kiss your head rub your back
and tell you get some rest
Mommy I still love you more
but Grandma is the best
