I

Mom

Mom,
I know you want what's best for me,
mothers always do,
I hope you know I also want what's very best for you.
Even though our lives may take us more than a phone call away,
I hope you know I think of you each and every day.
I know I often start a fight before I have to say goodbye,
I hope you know that when I leave I kick myself and wonder why.
I want to make you proud of me,
as children usually do.
I hope you know I love you so and I'm very proud to have you.
