In the beginning, you were my guiding light,
The one who cradled me through the night.
Long before you knew me, I held you dear,
But as time passed, your love turned austere.

Your eyes spoke of frustration and disdain,
Leaving me to weather feelings of pain.
Yearning for acceptance, I tried in vain,
Yet your indifference cast a lingering bane.

I longed for your embrace, your gaze so warm,
But you seemed repelled, causing inner storm.
Confusion reigned as I sought your approval,
Hoping one day to dissolve this removal.

If only you could see the essence of me,
A reflection of you, intertwined destiny.
I wished for your pride in the person I'd become,
A blend of us both, a symphony hum. Mom
