Good or bad, here's my piece for today:
Never and Always
You always
say I can't!
You never
let me do
what I want!
You always
tell me no!
You never
seem to understand!
You always
embarrass me
in front of
my friends!
You never
believe I am
where I say I'll be!
I know.
I never,
and I always.
I never
want you hurt or lost;
I always
want you safe.
I never
want misunderstandings
about the amount
of love
my heart
holds for you.
I always
need to know
where you are
when you're not home.
I never
want you to forget
how precious
you are to me.
I always
cherish you
in my heart
and I will still
when you are old.
But you never!
And you always!
Yes, I never.
And yes, I always.
I will never
leave your side
as long as you shall live,
and I will always
see to it that you
are truthful, honest, kind.
I never
want you sad, mistaken, doubtful.
I always
want you to do your best.
I never
want you giving up
on life's
oh so many tests.
I always
hope it is my arms
that comfort you
when you need.
I never
want you to feel
you cannot come to me.
I always
want what's best for you
and sometimes
I may seem mean,
but I never
want to see you cry
if poor decisions
you have made.
I always
want you to know
you never
have to worry
for I will always,
yes, I will always
be your protector, mother, friend.
