In her younger days,
our Mother had a great temper,
She turns red easily,
Coupled with spouts of anger.
But as she matured,
She decided to tone it down,
She found herself a nice gentleman,
And settled for a wedding gown.
And so she gave birth to us,
Her beloved children we are,
She nurtured us through our early years,
Her watchful eyes;
Sometimes teary, and other times;
Beaming with joy.
She kept us warm in her bosom,
And held us up when we couldn't walk.
She watched as we grow into teens,
And feels the pain of being hurt,
We ripped her heart apart,
And scar her in all ways ,
Yet, we don't seem to care.
And now, we have matured,
Children of hers.
We have dreams she cannot fulfilled,
Dreams bigger than her.
It is time for us to leave home,
To leave our Mother, and wonder into unknowns,
So we kiss her goodbye,
As we wonder off and leave her behind to die,
Oh Mother, let me tell you one last time,
"I love you, Mother!
I love you, Earth!"
