Another Fabulous Poem

Written by Alexis

You stick to what you believe in
I always hear you say
That's what keeps you grounded
on the worst of day

It is the way that's right
and the only way at that
You filter out all other people
like you're some diplomat

I hate how you're not open
forever a closed door
If only you could see
it's all the same at the core

Religions should be pure
no guilt or exclusion
But the way you make it seem
there is only one conclusion

Remember when we were babies
and we had no opinion to tell
If only we could go back
to a world where no one yelled

Well, because this won't likely happen
You can at least try your best
To not just be open to your religion
But yours and all the rest.

Happy Mother's Day to Me

A Special Poem Written by Alexis

I have a special Hero

I have a special hero
a truely selfless soul
She tells me countless times
I only have one goal.

To help lift you bitty bird
to spread your wings and fly
So you do not need me
when I meet my eternal lie.

And to give to you your future,
to set you up for life
I promise I will make it, sweetie
and relieve us of our strife.

My goal bitty bee, when you're up and gone
is to be a friend for you
and give to you the support
you need to always make it through.

Because you see, darling child
you must understand
When I was young like you
I could not comprehend.

This was for I did not have a mother
no one to hold my hand.
Now, you see little girl
why I am here with you to the end.

As she would say these things to me
I could not help but make the connection
That she is the most unique hero of all
the one that provides protection.

She takes her personal experiences
and turns them into good
She learns her lessons
then passes onto me, while in my childhood.

All of us should respect
such a wise woman to learn from
But if you have not noticed already,
this woman is my Mom.
