“The Sonnet” by Jerry

Written by: Jerry

Moma you loved me from the start. 

I never noticed negligence in your heart. 

What you taught me, I only understand. 

You survived raising a boy to a man. 

Reminiscing about the love we shared. 

Despite my troubled life, you still cared. 

You held me in your embracing arms. 

Teaching me with motherly charms. 

I miss you so much I cannot explain. 

Reliving those moments helps one maintain.

Your positive, protective, points of view. 

A mother’s love for her son is nothing new. 

From sunrise to your sunset, and all I do. 

The love in my heart is forever for you.
