A Mother's Heart

Frustration is sometimes so real.
You try to help, but they can't see
that you also feel.
Children get older but seem to not learn,
As a parent, was I too lenient or firm?

I'm not sure which is worse these days
The distance between us
or the part that it plays.
To know that, as a mom, I have done all that I could
To help you stay grounded
and yet you misunderstood.

You thought I was trying to control
your whole life.
"I'm an adult" you would say
and yet sometimes full of strife.
I honestly tried to give it my very best shot
and someday you'll realize when your
head is not quite so hot.

The love of a mother is there before you are born
It carries you through even when your life
 is broken and torn.
No matter where you go, my prayers are with you
and the love that I have will always be true.
