Me and Mom
First time at the hospital
I was screaming and bloody
I was born.
Firve years old at the hospital
I had a lollypop and balloon
Mom was crying
I got another shot
Thirteen, again at the hospital
I broke my arm
Mom was the first to sign the cast.
Fifteen, I was crying over a broken heart
Mom was passing the tissue box.
Seventeen standing in my prom gown
I handed mom the tissues.
"You're growing up."
Twenty five back at the hospital
Mom holding my hand and crying with me
as the Doctors bring me
my baby girl.
