Heroine
December 29, 2019
Nothing will ever again be
the taste of the best gooey
chocolate chip cookies
baking in the evening.
The sound of bottle caps
and chocolate raisins
bouncing up and down
in the rectangle box.
She is a giver upper,
for her children
and her husband.
Brave and anxiety ridden
all at once.
The smell of Dolce and Gabbana
lurking on her work clothes,
present in every single embrace.
The sound of the sink water dripping
pouring down the dirty dishes.
The spray of febreeze and pouring
of tide to get your kid’s work clothes
ready on time everyday.
The sight of her shirt,
always supporting her kids
with every chance she gets.
Mom, I love you.

This poem is about my mom, someone who has always been one of the most unselfish people i've ever met and someone I can always look up to. In my eyes, she does not get enough recognition for what she does for me, my siblings, and my dad on a daily basis and she is truly a heroine.
