Mom

By Angelina Martinez

She is the person who tells me goodnight.

She is the person who tells me good morning.

She is the person who holds when I was scared.

She is the person who tells me “I love you” just when I believe no one does.

She is the person who stands by my side no matter what.

She is the best friend I don’t deserve.

She is the person who picks me up when I fall.

She is the person who listens when I think no one can hear.

She is the person who is there when I’m sick.

She is the person who I never give enough credit to.

She is the person who helps put that smile on my face.

She’s the person who sits with me on my darkest of days.

She’s my hero who never once wears a cape.

She’s the only person I ever see wear a brave face.

She’s, my mom.
