We go on. On and on. We don't stop where it hurts. We turn a corner. It is the reason why we are living. To turn a corner. Come, lets move. ~ Hamadi

“your mom” they say
But at least they have a mom

Their moms hold
Their moms fold
Their moms hug
Their moms bug

“your mom” they say
But at least they have a mom

Their moms snuggle forcefully
Their moms annoy lovingly

“your mom” they say
But at least they have a mom

MY mom loves
MY mom is here
MY mom’s in the air

MY mom parties
MY mom praises

“your mom” they say
But at least they have a mom

This piece is written about my mom, who passed away this last year from breast cancer. I wrote this poem shortly after she passed.

My mom isn't gone like yours but she hasn't legally been my mom for the past for years and I can't see her. I often feel the same way when I hear other people talking about their mothers.
