Mother

You know everything,
You see through the lies.
You know when I'm sick,
You know when I'm starved.
You know when I'm sad,
You know when I have a worry.


One day I said,
"I did it, cos I's sad".
You cried and you slept,
I did it again when you wept.
I regard the values you have taught me,
I respect the power that I see.


When I come home,
Smelling of nicotine,
When I slept in the Drôme,
I've slipped into dream.
I am who I am, because of who you are,
Because you made me what I am.


I love you, mom :)
