Mama I Love You To No End
I know I pushed your buttons more than
I can count
I know I have given you extra silver strands
though I like it on you (wink)
I know I have caused you some sleepless
nights and ruined your appetites
I know I have given you the silent treatment
because it’s easier for me
I know I have caused your tears to escape
from their hidden ponds
I know every time I caused you pain
my heart is in a dark place
Mama
I can not undo my mistakes and failures
Although if I was to be permitted a chance
to go back in time and correct them
And if I could unzip my heart to show you
How much it breaks me deeply
than words could ever express
How much I love you more than words can say
How grateful I am to be your daughter
How much I need you more than anyone
No questions ask
I would full heartedly happily do it in a flash
You’re such a sweet and loving mother
You let nothing to spoil your golden heart
regardless of the hurtful things I have caused you
You kiss away all my misery
You continue to enchant me
You’re always on stand ready for when I need you
You love me unconditionally
You make my heart smile
Mama
Thank you forever
I love you to end

This poem was inspired by Silent One’s most beautiful tribute to his mother… My respect to the moms universally for their unconditional love for their children.
