Poem for Mom

You’re the light every night in my world,
You’re the support when the roller-coaster turned,
You lift me up when I fall,
You encourage me to give it my all.
You are so kind,
You calm my mind,
You have achieved much in the eyes of the world,
But only as a free bird.
I don’t know what I would have done without you,
Maybe forgotten my cue,
Or strayed from the path of right,
Away from a bright light.
I don’t mind when you scold me,
It is the key,
To a better future,
You are the best teacher.
