Mommy's Arms

When I was young you were the person I ran to
  to kiss a boo boo better
  to scare the monsters from my closet
  to read me a story 
  and to curl up in my bed with me until I fell asleep
You were the only person whose hug meant the world
and the World was at peace when I was in mommy's arms.
You made Earnie come back when the mean postman took him
and you made Rusty "apologize" when he bit me
and you were my hero.

Now as College looms in the not so distant future
you have instilled in me the difference between
  Right and Wrong
  Left and Right
  Dark and Lights
and though I may act more independent
and try things on my own
Trying to put on a front like i don't need anyone
just remember
You will always be the person I run to
to kiss my boo boos better
to scare the deans of the world away
tell me stories of when I was young
and let me curl up in your bed to watch CSI until we fall asleep.
Your hug will always mean the world to me
and the world will always be at peace in mommy's arms
And most of all
You will always be my hero
and best of all
you will always be my mommy.

I love you
Happy Mother's Day
