Mother (written at age 17)

Dear Mother,
Fluorescent flower under the sun
Guide for the careless steps ive taken upon
Shelter me from harm
Voices of truth given to this blurred youth
For that I shall not forget…eternally
You are the eyes for which I see,
Air for which I breathe
Dreams for which I need
To be free
You are the dreams for dreams
I want to be and reach
You shall see, I’ll make it reality
Even though times you anger me
For MY childish deeds
I love thee
For all you given to me,
For all that you taught me,
Scolded me,
I love you mother,
Eternally.
