I want to be like you. <br />Aways have, <br />and always will. <br />I loved you with all my heart. <br />Wished you were always there. <br />Wished I could be there. <br />I tired I really did. <br />I tried to get you to love me. <br />Tried to get you to <br />notice that I was there. <br />That I was alive, <br />and still your daughter. <br />Here I am 15 years later <br />feeling like I am my own mother. <br />You were never there, <br />never there for anything <br />that was for me. <br />Not to see me in my shinning moments, <br />not even when I just <br />wanted you there. <br />You came up with somehting, <br />anything just to get out of it. <br />I loved you. <br />I look over the pain you caused me <br />and hoped that one day <br />you would be different. <br />But here I am 15 years later <br />still look for my mother. <br />You say you are my mother, <br />but I say your not. <br />You say you love me, <br />well then prove it. <br />You say you have, <br />well I say you haven't. <br />15 years have gone by and still <br />nothing has changed. <br />I pray to god that I am not like that <br />with my daughter. <br />I will be there for her <br />when she is shinning. <br />So when she looks out into <br />the sea of people, <br />she sees me with a smile <br />on my face and <br />my eyes shining with pride. <br />Even when it is somehting little <br />she will see me, and know that I love her. <br />Know I will be there to the very end. <br />That I will pick her up when she falls. <br />I will love her when she falls and gets hurt. <br />I will cry with her when that boy breaks her heart. <br />I will do all the things <br />that you never did for me. <br />I will do all the things <br />I wished you did for me. <br />Cause 15 years from now <br />my daughter will be here <br />and she will know that I love her <br />more than anything else in the world.<br /><br />Kelsea Osterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-loves-me/
