Mother & Daughter..Unwanted Distance

by Marlen

Zaydi...I wrote you this poem:

 
You are my first born..my precious daughter.
I love you so much.
Why do you not bother
to try and be grateful
for what I can give you.

We are always bumping heads,
the respect isn't there anymore.
You've grown so much
and so has the distance between us.
Why is it so wrong?

Let's try and make it right.
We need to get along
and stop it with the fights.
I do really love you.
I know at times you may not believe it.

I feel the same way you do too.
Sometimes I may not
show it or say it,
but I am proud of who you are.
I know you are a beautiful bright young girl.

I don't want you to look back as an adult with resentment.
You will always be my baby
my blessing, my first child
and not matter what
I will always love you!
~Mom
