Mom

With an open hand
Giving
Catching
Holding
Only when I wanted
Letting me be me
Go off
Adventure
Come home
Go off again
Only smiling
As I did what I wanted
Wore what I liked
And floundered about
Giving that space
To feel safe
Home
And I never really believed it was too bad
Inside it felt good
Once I found it
Again
Showing me
There's no cause for alarm
It all works out
In the end
Thank you for
Your love
