This poem was written Mother's Day, 2000 for the most wonderful woman in the world: buttrfly, my mother. 

To My Mother

Skinned up knees,
The birds and bees,
You raised me.

Teenage rants,
Poisonous plants,
You saved me.

Awkward and shy,
Talk to a guy,
You helped me.

Grown up woes,
Painting my toes,
You loved me.

Miles apart,
Yet heart-to-heart,
I love you!
