Mother by Cobrakede
Caring love cold as an shower,
never before and never after,
shall one as you love me again.
You cradle me at youth,
protect me as I mature,
scold me in contempt and yet -
always in love.
If not for you . . .
. . . I would not care,
If not for you . . .
. . . I would not live,
If not for you . . .
. . . I would not love.
Hold me as I go into the world,
do not protect me, only guide me,
for I am mans' and womans' child,
bold an foolish,
yet as always it shall be -
unknowing.
Forsake me not, for with me pride was born,
good and evil I can do - that all mankind can do,
but that what I've been taught- not all mankind can do . . .
. . . care.

This poem is for my mother. She gave me life, she gave me all my talents and yet she would still give me all she had (should I ask it of her). She makes me feel as if I could take on the world, yet always with the same compassion she shows me - how to respect the world, care for it and love it.
Thus I wrote her a poem for it was the nearest I could come to express my feelings for her.
