A Daily Routine
April 15, 2019
With the burden of the world
on your shoulders
An everlasting crease of worry
On the countenance of beauty
Ring Ring! The start of another day
Time to cease and slay
Wake up the kids. Prepare lunch. Rush to work.
And repeat without irk
Did you have lunch?
An eternal worry of yours
Now I know why I have chores
Or maybe just a hunch
Tears flow from my eyes
But your heart aches
Thank you for everything it takes.
Black hair like the bottomless sea
Brown eyes like iced coffee
Don't take her lightly for an instance
She’s a mother not innocence

My relationship with my mom is very special--we are more friends than mother-daugther. This poem highlights my appreciation and acknowledgment of the hard work that she puts in for me and our family. If there's any job that is payed nothing and given no appreciation yet is the important job in the world is the work of a mother.
