My Mother is The Strongest Person I Know

My mother is the strongest person I know.

Her first child was a surprise, shortly after her father dies.

But things would get harder down the road…

She was a victim, but she made sure he never came back around

Drenched in emotional problems, but I never saw her frown

Medication and breakdowns were closer than I thought,

But even still, and what I speak is real,

My mother is the strongest person I know.

She was lied to and deceived,

her own mother was imminent to leave

But she was still as strong as the Italian roots that planted its fire into her veins,

She was still as strong as the voice that can blow mountains away,

And nothing can ruin her.

A woman filled with courage, and as I got older, yes, I did see her cry

Seeing her hurt made me literally want to die;

And anything that got in her way of happiness was something I would hate.

Protecting her was all I tried to do,

From my father, from anything that made her blue.

I’m as strong as everything she’s passed down to me

And I’m as strong as my tears,

because I realize that losing my mother is my worst fear.

So I hope to be as strong as her one day,

And I can write forever, But I’m going to just stop and say-

My mother is the strongest person I know.
