A POEM OF A MAMA'S BOY

My mother just know how to write and read a word or a name
But she taught me to value important and good things.

She empharized that I need to study
And to have a Bachelor's degree.

She told me, "don't talk when your mouth is full".
She taught me to be humble and respectful.

She cares a lot and love me so much.
Even a lil pinch, I never had.

She never scold or shout
She support me all throughout.

She gives advice and just understand
In my side, she always stand.

But one thing she don't want me to do
To leave her and I will go.

She don't want me to go far away
All she wish for me is to stay.

She is a family-oriented mother
She wanted her family to stick together.

That's why I am still here in the Philippines
Because I love my mom more than anyone and anything else.
