MOM AND DAD
I CAN NEVER REPAY THE LOVE YOU’VE SHOWN
THE KINDNESS YOU’VE HAD WHEN I’M ON MY
OWN
THE PATIENCE IT TOOK TO HANDLE MY LIFE
WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF BEING A
WIFE
I’VE CAUSED YOU SUCH PAIN IN SUCH A SHORT
TIME
TO THINK IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE TINY DIME
WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST YOU WHERE ALWAYS
THERE
WITH OPEN ARMS AND GENTLE CARE
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU THERE’S NO WORDS TO
SAY
SO THROUGH THIS POEM IS MY ONLY WAY.
