Like a good mother <br />She has taken me in <br />And taught me well, <br />Given me the strength <br />To speak my mind <br />And set me free. <br /> <br />Like a good child <br />I respect and admire her. <br />I have learned all her lessons <br />And practiced them faithfully. <br /> <br />So it breaks my heart <br />When I see you disrespect her; <br />Ill-using her words <br />Disregarding her rules <br />To where she is <br />Unrecognizable… <br />A shame to behold.<br /><br />Annabel Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-english/
