I love you mom [poem]
15 years & 8 days ago
19th Dec 2009 18:54 When you were 12 she told
you not
to watch certain TV shows. You thanked
her by
waiting until she left the house.
When you were 13, she suggested a
haircut that
was becoming. You thanked her by telling
her she
had no taste.
When you were 14, she paid for a month
away at
summer camp. You thanked her by
forgetting to
write a single letter.
When you were 15, she came home from
work,
looking for a hug. You thanked her by
having your
bedroom door locked.
When you were 16, she taught you how to
drive
her
car. You thanked her by taking it every
chance you
could.
When you were 17, she was expecting an
important call. You thanked her by being
on the
phone all night.
When you were 18, she cried at your high
school
graduation. You thanked her by staying
out
partying until dawn.
When you were 19, she paid for your
college
tuition, drove you to campus carried your
bags.
You thanked her by saying good-bye
outside the
dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in
front of
your friends.
When you were 25, she helped to pay for
your
wedding, and she cried and told you how
deeply
she loved you. You thanked her by moving
half way across the country.
When you were 50, she asked for help.
You thanked her by writing a book about
how annoying parents are.
Then, she died.
Then you realized that you took her for
granted.
