How can I not love you mom

For you taught me the word 'love'

How can I ever abandon you mom

For you held my hand at tough times

How can I discontinue our friendship mom

For you stitched me when I tore myself apart

How can I ever erase your face mom

For you switched on my days of memory

How can I sit here weeping aloud mom

For you're there to wipe away my countless tears

How can I lock myself in depression mom

For you're there to carve a smile on my lips

How can I ever judge you mom

For you're the best court of truth

How can I call myself asinine mom

For you shaped me jaunty

How can I not call you mom

For you're my true support system.......
