mother's day

"you taught me to care
and how to share
and find shapes in the clouds above"

"there are two words i bring
that mean the same thing
those words are mommy and love"

"thank you, mommy
for all you do
thank you, mommy
i love you"

dad wrote those words forever ago
and we used the front lawn for the video
that you played at the party for all of your friends

it helped your image as a mother
to you this gift topped any other
to be told by your children you're perfectly good

it's funny how how the years go by
and the words i sing become my own
i was coached to thank you for treating me like that–
well, it was all i'd ever known

and to you that was love
but you were wrong

you are hard to please
short-tempered, mean
you never gave me space to breathe
i have to believe that we deserved more than you gave
i won't feel like i failed for walking away
