Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

You Care

I didn't understand at first
I thought you were controlling
That you worried too much
That you didn't care

But now I see it
You tried to guide me
You were worried
Because you did care

Now here we are
After countless shouting matches
After so many times I stormed off
And none of that matters now

you worry
you try to do everything
you never stopped loving me
you accept me as your daughter
you always make sure I'm eating
you always check in on me
you care

That's why I love you
That's why I'm proud to be your daughter
That's why I'm proud to call you

Mom
