My Mom
My Mom, the one who raised me,
By herself for many years,
The one who kept food on the table,
And wiped away my many tears.
The one who taught me the most important values I know,
Honesty, loyalty, and compassion too,
The one who never gave up,
But instead did what she had to do.
The one who kissed my forehead
Each night before I closed my eyes,
The one whom I always considered
The wisest of the wise.
The one who gave me a hug,
Each and every time I was sad inside,
Comforting me when I was unhappy,
And I only sat and cried.
The one who was there all those times,
I had bad dreams late at night,
Letting me sleep in her bed,
Or leave on the hallway light.
The one who cared enough
To finally let me meet my real dad,
She always tried to do what was right for me,
Even if it made her sad.
The one who cooked me "Yummy",
Our little homemade recipe,
The one who cooked the best fried chicken and mashed potatoes,
Especially for me.
The one who never failed to protect me,
If someone threatened harm,
The one who taught me all I know,
About living on a farm.
The one who made sure every Christmas and birthday,
All other holidays too,
Were as good as she could make them,
Doing all she could possibly do.
The one who made me feel,
So loved and cared about,
Who always got her point across,
Rarely having to shout.
The one I almost lost once,
When I was barely 10 years old,
I thought she was going to die, leaving me all alone,
No comforting hand to hold.
But a miracle occured, and healed my only mom,
Making her all well,
I thank God for not taking her away,
And making my life hell.
My mom is the one,
Who did all these things and more,
Living up to "World's Best Mom",
The one I always will adore.

She got Ovarian Cancer when I was 10 and they gave her only 5 yrs to live. 24 yrs later and she's still kickin'!

Insomnia
Here I sit it's two A.M.,
I should be sleeping now,
My mind's awake and thinking,
but my body's wondering how.
Insomnia, Insomnia,
Thy wicked name implies,
That slumber ceases to exist,
and so I must arise.
Why do you tease my inner peace,
my sanctuary so?
What have I done to rate this test,
I beg you now please go?
Oh peaceful sleep I feel your presence,
as drowsiness draws near,
Insomnia, Insomnia,
Farewell,good night my dear.
