I am enough

this is about how i was with my other family as i like to call them and i started crying over something that had happened and the woman is like my other mom...i think its explanitory from there on out

You try to calm me,

As the tears roll down my face.

 

All I ever wanted was to be good enough,

It's just not as simple as you think.

 

I'm sorry for crying,

Is all I could say to you.

 

I try to fight back the tears,

But they just get worse.

 

I love you more and more everyday-

For loving me.

 

I used to pray that I'd make my mom proud,

Instead God blessed me with you.

 

I may not be enough for my real mom,

But I'm more than enough for you...the woman I like to call mommy.

aww sad ...i can re;ate to this poem ...well done

[Marissa]

thank you! And I'm sorry that you can relate.

[mariah]

wow, this was so full of emotion...i love it. and remember, just because someone is your biological mom, it doesnt make them your mom. your mom is the person who cares for you and loves you no matter what. they also never judge you. great job, this was very touching and so well written :P

thank you! And I'm mot saying my biological mom doesn't love me I'm just saying that it's a different love I guess we could say. But thank you!

[mariah]

oh okay, i understand. your welcome! :P

I love the sentiment in this, what it says. My Mother-in-law was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and she is getting pretty bad. I feel as close (Maybe more) to her as I do my own mother. She's a special person in every regard. I feel your pain...
Beautifully done.

[Marissa]

thank you! And I am sorry about your mother-in-law I will pray for you and your family and her definitely...not to be rude but just so you know she isn't my mother in law just a woman i go to church with I'm 15 and she has really been a blessing to me and is just like a mom to me.

[Dean Kuch®]

Thanks, I appreciate that. And don't worry, I assumed you were too young to have a mother-in-law. I just knew she was(is) a very special person in your life...

[Marissa]

Your welcome. And she is very well special to me I don't know who I'd be today without her or where I would be I mean because of her I've changed tramendously and I didn't mind because she taught me that I do make people proud and I am something so she is very important and special to me I thank God for blessing me with someone who loves me like her own kid.Sorry for blabbing though.

[Dean Kuch®]

{YOU'RE) welcome too, lol :) See? There ya' go again...

[Marissa]

haha sorry grammar isn't my best subject.

[Dean Kuch®]

Just messin' with ya'! Saw that "YOUR" right there...couldn't resist...

[Marissa]

lol it's cool. (:

[Patricia B. Hepler]

You are real enough. Your mommy really loves you.

[Falling Leaf.]

Very poignant. Again, your last stanza rings with finality. Quite enjoyable. This piece settled into your rhythm right away--your rhythm which you designate with couplets. I've only read three pieces so far, but you seem to fancy writing in couplets, and it suits your pieces. Nicely penned.

The best of luck,
Savannah

[Marissa]

Thank you!

[Falling Leaf.]

Pleasure was mine

touching.

[Marissa]

thank you i think (:

[zainul]

I appreciate your sense of gratitude to your other mom.
Your other mom must be adored for her affection and care to you.
Your biological mom will understand her role now and may recognize the role of your other mom.
Great write.

[Marissa]

She is vey much adored and trustme she knows it....but sadly enough my biological mother doesn't understand but luckily enough that doesn't stop my other mom from caring and loving me and being there whenever i need her heck even when i don't....thank you!

[zainul]

Never mind.
Convey my regards to your other mom.
I adore her.

[Marissa]

Thank you....and I do to very very much.

[zainul]

You are always welcome.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. I was raise by a stepmother who took care of me and had a home for me. I called her mother. The word mother is the word of love for us lucky people. Thank you for the excellent poem.
