My Mother

Ophelia

The most precious name on earth.

Ophelia, my mother's name.


I love you Ophelia. My mother. My friend. My number one fan!

I can't write the words that I wanted to say. I don't know of any to fit the day.

I miss you Ophelia. My mother. My friend. My number one fan!

I miss you terribly and have fallen away.

This day, Ophelia. Not to worry, Ophelia

I promise only for today.

I'm tired Ophelia. My mother. My friend. My number one fan!

I'm tired from stress, from progress, from deception- from grades.

I'm need you, Ophelia. My mother. My friend. My number on fan!

Happy Mother's Day, mom. Don't fret, mom.

I made it mom. I made it! I know I got the grade.

With the softness of your delicate touch shown to me all those years,

My only hope has been to make you proud.
