“Without You”

In the background
You can be found
Quietly filling that special space
Silently offering your motherly embrace
No one can replace
Your loving kindness
We forget to appreciate
But you have great
Patience
We come to you
As our adolescence
Weighs us down
And we drown
In our torment
Until you calm the torrent
Of wild emotions
With your endless devotion
Putting us first,
You see us at our worst
And although
We don’t always show
How much you mean
To us teens
Just know
Deep in your heart
That without you
This family would fall apart
