You screamed and begged to get me out of your stomach
You gasped and sobbed when i fell down
You teared up and missed me when i went to school
You feared for me when I had my first broken heart
You smiled while the proud tears dripped
You put up with all my attitudes
You never gave up on me, even when I nearly did
You spent too many days and nights with a wet stained face
Right now, it's my turn to cry
I'm so sorry for all the mistakes I made
for all the times I caused you pain
for not understanding or even trying to understand
for not helping you as much as I should have
It's my turn to cry
It's time that I see you and what you've done
To see what you've put up with for so long
for too long
I love you so much
I will always appreciate you
even though, it may not seem like it
I do understand, appreciate, am thankful for and love you.
You have been a wonderful mother
And it's my turn to cry
to show that this is true
to show that I am sincere
to show how much you mean to me
to show that you can never leave me
and you never will

this is awesome. this is exactly how i feel about my mother. it almost made me cry. growing up my mother and i usually fought (you know how teenage girls are), but now that i'm a little older, i come to appreciate what she's done for me. thank you for this wonderful entry. it really is wonderful, especially for a "tired and early in the morning" write.

This is really sad, but it made me think, and I can understand where you're coming from. It's a really beautiful and meaningful poem.
Best of luck in the contest and thank you for entering.
