Your carefully developed eyes sought to see me shine
to see me grow over time.
They saw me through summer and autumn and spring
and saw me through whatever winter did bring.
The cold withering months didn’t freeze your heart
but instead melted as we soon grew apart.
I realise I haven’t always been the best
but to have a mother like you I must be blessed.
You’re excited to hear about my day
even if I do drift away.
Through every stumble and every fall
you’ve been by my side and seen it all.
But no matter how far I roam
your heart will always be my home.
