Mama who
Mama
who knows me better than the palm of her hand.
Mama
who says food tastes better when you make it with love
Mama
who is always trying to help others
Mama
who always warns me not to make a bad choice every day like a daily routine
Mama
who gives me the look when I do something wrong or she is annoyed
Mama
who talks her English like broken words
Mama
who forgives you no matter what
Mama
who always keeps her promises
Mama
who knows when something is wrong
Mama
whose hugs make you feel like everything is going to be ok
Mama
who knows how to balance her life equally
Mama
who somehow manages to take time with everybody even after a long day at work
Mama
who is coffee and sugar bread in the morning
Mama
who fills the house with the smell of crispy sizzling bacon in the morning
weekends
Mama
who’s favorite ice cream is Hagen Dazs ice cream
Mama
who is tamales, posole, and champurrado in Christmas
Mama
who is chicken soup when someone is sick
Nice work, Paola. Food does taste better when love is added. Mr. Barnes
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite line is "talks her English like broken words". You can hear it. Also, the coffe and sugar bread in the morning and chicken soup when someone is sick. She seems so loving.
ReplyDeleteI love this whole poem, especially the line mentioning her making chicken soup when you are sick.It indirectly shows how caring your mother must be. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThis peom is great!!! I sounds like you really look up to your mom and that she is a very important person in your life. I also like how you added important characteristics about your mom so the reader really feels like they get to know her.
