My mom was good at story-telling
She'd tell me of when I was smaller
I'd try to convince her and my dad
To let me see my biological parents
And to let me drive my dad's truck up a tree
To catch butterflies with them

My mom was good at dancing
Or so I've been told
People tell me when she and my dad
Were younger, they'd dance the night away
I've went with them a few times
We'd all square dance, I tripped over my feet often
And I'd be in bed by midnight

My mom was good at baking
When she could walk
We'd make Christmas cookies
She'd make me Chocolate Chip cookies
They were always the best

My mom was good at being a mother
She'd help me, and loved me
But I took advantage of her
When she got sick, I realized
How special she was
I'd stay up all night with her
Whenever she'd have night terrors
And lay by her side at night
So she could sleep soundly

My mom went to heaven last month
She had suffered long enough
She looked so peaceful,
Laying in her bed, dead
Like she was asleep
But she was gone
Forever

Now I sit here on the floor
By myself
I'm crying, writing this
And missing her more by the second

But she's not in pain anymore (thank God for that)
And she's dancing with her son
And parents
She's watching over me
Because she promised me
She'd never leave me alone

She'd watch me graduate
And go to college
She'd smile as I got married
And had kids

And someday, I'll look up at the sky
I'll have a happy family
And I'll thank her for everything

But you know what?
My mom was good at loving everyone
Just as I'll love her
Forever
This is about my mom, who died last month if you didn't know.

I dunno, I'm just grieving, I guess.

Also, I need to get my mind off of Pineapple Soda a little bit. My Schizophrenia is kicking in; I'm starting to see Pumpkin, Lime, Raven, and Turk everywhere I go. (Although, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I just need some space, yo.)
