She has brown eyes
Where all the good lies
They darken in the shade
And in the sun, the brown fades
I love looking in the mirror
And having to see her
It’s all the proof
That I’m hers
And she’s all mine
My friend
To the end
My sister, protector, cheerer
Forever
The stars have seen her pureness
Her beauty and selflessness
Mark my words
She’s the best of all worlds
She held me in her arms
To protect me from harm
Showered me with endless love
That’s my Mom
“Mommy was I planned?” I asked her
Something formed between her brows, a pucker
“No baby you were a mistake,” she answered teasingly
I bet she saw sadness flare up in me
Because she cupped my cheek and said,
“The most beautiful mistake.”
