I know this poem will seem cheap

Or even a little dumb,

And your first thought might be,

"What a lazy bum."

But I'm not a lazy bum.

I'm writing this for you

By taking my time and effort

From what I'm supposed to do.

Flowers, candy, jewelry, and money:

The list can go on forever,

But I'd prefer this poem

To keep us closer together.

My love for you is written

In a very sloppy way,

But my words are always sloppy.

Even on Mother's Day.

I love you, Mom.

Take that to mind.

My love for you

Isn't hard to find.
