Poems

Every
Someone once asked me
How I'd describe my mother.
I knew that I could tell them,
Using one word and no other.

That very word is every.
Now please, let me explain.
Who is there every time I'm sick,
Or every time I am in pain?

Who was there for every function
And for every tear I cried?
Who sees every fault I have,
Yet knows every time I tried?

Who loves me, every single day,
And knows my every hope?
Who watches every step I take
And pushes every time I mope?

Mother means so much to me.
She's every song I sing.
She's the apple of my eye.
She is my 'every' thing.
