A Mother’s Day Poem - 2023

 

 Mother’s Day Poem

AN ORIGINAL POEM

My mom is my everything.
The voice in my head that guides me to do good.
My advocate, fighting for what is right.
 The guardian, always watching over me.
The caretaker, making sure am well.
What am I to her though?
In her eyes?
Her joy and pride,
Her love and anger,
Her blessing and burden...
I am her son,
That’s who I am.
My mom is my everything...
And I’m everything to my mother.

Lonely

 Lonely

An original poem by: Jack Tecson

 

I don’t sleep like I used to.

Counting sheep doesn’t bring you back to me.

I’ve fallen far.

And I’m trying to get up again.

 

Take me back in time

Your heart pressed up on mine.

Freeze this moment,

And make the world bright.

 

But maybe I’m lonely.

Now that you’re gone.

Because I’m not the old me

And your time is up.

 

I’ve dreaded this day for so long.

And now I’m lonely.

Longing for your love.

 

I don’t sleep like I used to.

You’re in my dreams, but I don’t know where you’ve gone. 

It’s been weeks since I’ve seen you.

We don’t speak,

but my heart sings the same old song.

 

Take me back in time.

Your heart pressed up on mine.

And I know I’m stuck in this feeling.

I don’t know how to make this right.

 

But maybe I’m lonely.

Now that you’re gone.

Because I’m not the old me

And your time is up.

 

I’ve dreaded this day for so long.

And now I’m lonely.

Longing for your love.

Christmas Poem -2022

 

Christmas Poem

AN ORIGINAL POEM

Carolers sing door by door,
With ribbons and gift wrap all around.  
Meanwhile, ice skaters are falling down.

Sleigh bells are jingling,
With trees that light up...
And mistletoe hanging above the door.

All together with family and friends,
Happy memories are made.
Eventually, Santa will be climbing down chimneys.

This is CHRISTMAS!

Brother

 


Brother

AN ORIGINAL POEM

We don’t always get along,
But we will always have that special bond.
He is there when I'm sad,
Cheering me up, making me laugh.

He sees me for who I am.
And when I'm tired,
He is inspired.
 He knows I'll fight,   
With all my might.

Under his constant care,
 I try not to mope…
Even if he groans.

He is not a friend.
But a brother.
I Thank you (for everything)

Father

 

Father

AN ORIGINAL POEM

To the man who made me
The man who chose himself over family
Who took my love for granite
I am not a reflection of you
We are two different people
And my mother has given me what you could not
Endless love and encouragement

Sister

 

Sister

AN ORIGINAL POEM

What is a sister?
Well, let me tell you...
A sister is always a sister
Through sun and rain
Love and pain
Younger or older
It won't matter 
Life would be sadder 
(without her, without without her, without her)
A sister is always a sister 
Because she'll always have your back
(Sometimes pinned up against a rack)
But a sister is always a sister
Just give the call
She'll stand tall...
For you

Mother

 

Mother

AN ORIGINAL POEM

The greatest thing that a woman can become is a mom.
Righting the wrongs...
For their child,
Even it gets pretty wild.

Carrying compassion, patience and understanding...
With her love constantly expanding.

Watching years go by,
Her children will grow.
I say this to my mother...
Don't ever let me go.

POEM: Just For Fun

 Poems are simple

And easy to rhyme.

You only need paper

Some coffee and time.

You see! I just wrote one

While I sat in my chair.

Now I'm going to go get dinner, so

See ya! Take care!

Fury Friends

 

Fury Friends

AN ORIGINAL POEM

Our fury friends
Who walk on four legs
Who are always there
Who are sometimes very hyper
With a big heart
These are our fury friends
Not our pets

Heaven’s Light


Heaven’s Light

AN ORIGINAL POEM


The church bells are singing,

You’ve reached the end.

I wonder how far you’ll go?

Traveling beyond the stars…

To the heaven’s light.

 

No, I’m not gonna cry anymore.

I’m only gonna start to pray.

I promise I’ll see you again.

My heart just needs time to mend.

I wonder how far you’ll go…

Till you reach the heaven’s light.

Forevermore

 

Forevermore

AN ORIGINAL POEM


I used to believe that love was a child's game.
Till I met you.
You made me feel this way
With every passing day, it grows.
The day begins with your smile.
Lighting my heart within.
Take me by the hand.
We'll fly above the clouds.
Give me your heart.
We'll never be apart.
Come be with me forevermore.
Even as you walk away.
As you fade out of view.
You'll always be my forevermore.

POEM: Grandmother’s Love

 

Grandmother’s Love

AN ORIGINAL POEM


When you come calling,

I want you to see,

Who I'm trying to be.

Although I can't help but wonder... 

 

Is it selfish to say I need you?

Because nothing compares to a grandmother’s love.

 

I’ll close my door.

Don’t wanna be reminded,

 Don’t wanna be seen.

Don’t wanna be without you.

So, I'll just cry.


Heartache doesn’t last forever,

I’ll say I’m fine.

 

Is it selfish to say I need you?

Because nothing compares to a grandmother’s love.

 

Now that you’re gone.

I just hope your memory is proud of me.

I might cry myself to sleep.

And imagine that you’re here with me.

 

As I wish that you could be here,

To give me that special love.

I know I have mom…

But both of you keep me strong.


Although I can't help but wonder...

Is it selfish to say I need you?

Because nothing compares to a grandmother’s love.

Grandma

AN ORIGINAL POEM

 
Sweet like sugar,
Wise as Confucius.
That is my grandma.

A gentle butterfly,
In a beautiful garden,
Spreading her wisdom,
With her family at heart.
That is my grandma.

Oh, dearest mother…

I just wanted to take a minute…

To wish you a happy Mother’s Day.

POEM: Who Am I

Who Am I?

AN ORIGINAL POEM


I am a boy with a dream.
I am the nerd that everyone likes.
I am the guy full of joy.
I am the one making you laugh.
I am the son of my mother.
I am the friend who you always look to.
I am the hardworking student.

Who am I?
(to you,)
Who am I?
(to you,)
Who am I?
(to you,)
Who am I?
(to you,)

I am the guy that always makes your day.
I am the wise one.
I am striving for success.
I am a poet.
I am just a simple being trying to their way in the world. 

I am... Jack!

POEM: Our Story

OUR STORY

AN ORIGINAL POEM


You and me, we needed a friend.
For better or for worse.
It was just you and I.

We would smile every day.
You were always there for me.
It was something I haven’t seen.
I was always inspired by you.

Then one day, it all changed.
You told me not cry,
When you were gone.
Take a piece of my heart…
So, we’ll never be apart.
You’re in a far off place,
Miles away.

I heard that your dreams came true.
And I wish nothing but the best for you.
But I’ll always need you…
To fix my heart.



Whatever you do.
I’ll always support you.
Wherever you are.
You’re always be in my heart.
And I’ll wait for you.
Till the day you come home.
It was just like movie…
Just like a song.

But this was our story.

POEM: Untitled Poem

Untitled Poem

AN ORIGINAL POEM

People often expect a super human.
They expect nothing but perfection.
I grow tired of these misconceptions, 
Because they don't see how much strength I have.
My mind, my heart.
And if I cry.
That is not weakness.
But because I couldn't be strong anymore.

POEM: Just Like You

JUST LIKE YOU

AN ORIGINAL POEM

We laugh, we love, we live.
Just like you.
But yet we considered different.
By one thing and one thing only...
our disability or disabilities.
Physical or mental.
Whatever it may be.
We're still human.
Just like you.

POEM: Limitless

LIMITLESS

Am I the mother’s burden and blessing? The hero of heroes? Or the nerdy school kid?
This is what I was destined to become.
Because my palsy has aimed me down a different path.
But if this is the plan for me, I must be the one to choose how this goes on.
I will bring joy and happiness, no matter what.
Because if I smile, then the world should smile back.
I will help the world, because the world shouldn’t suffer…
The way I’ve suffered quietly all these years…
Not from pain, but from not being able to walk, run, and jump.
That is the wound in my soul.
People think they understand my struggle.
But they don’t “truly” understand. 
And though I have cerebral palsy.
My heart and brain is all I need…
To be ultimately limitless!
