Strong For You

This post was written in 4 minutes.
I wrote this poem for my single mom who raised me all on her own. She has sacrificed so much for me, and I am forever grateful. I love you mom! :P

You're my best friend,
my most loyal companion.
You've been there
throughout the short years of my life.

I don't know what I'd do
if you were ever gone.
You've just always been there
helping me along,
no matter how hard I fought
to push you away.

Your words have comforted me
through the long nights;
we have talked and laughed deep into the dark
of loss and pain,
your life and love.

Your strength pushes me;
I'm better for you.
Your blunt words and hard advice
lead me through the years;
your knowledge astounds me.

Your love holds me embraced in God
and truth.
You taught me to fight
for what I believed;
I am strong for you.

You told me to push;
to love through the hurt
and the pain
that fights to bring me down
to misery and darkness,
and hate so deep.

You have been more than you needed to be.
You are my mentor and teacher,
my friend and confidante
that I can tell everything to.
You're my mother and Guide.
